S'WAK POLLS The federal government has promised more allocations to develop Sarawak if incumbent Chief Minister Adenan Satem wins big in the coming state election.

"With his good relationship with the federal government, the prime minister and myself as well, I will try my best to help facilitate (more) allocations to build Sarawak.

"This is if he (Adenan) wins big in the state election – more than a two-thirds majority," Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

Zahid made the promise when he addressed more than 500 people at a meet-the-leader session in Balingian, a state seat in Mukah today.

Also present were BN Balingian candidate Abdul Yakub Arbi and BN Mukah parliamentarian Muhammad Leo Toyad.

Zahid also presented RM600,000 in federal funds to the village development and security committees (JKKK) in 86 longhouses in Balingian.

He also promised to attend to local problems, namely supply of clean water, better drainage system and the construction of roads and a secondary school, which were once promised by the then deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin during the 2013 general election campaign.

Zahid praised Adenan for being a simple man with a heart to serve the people.

"Toh Nan (Adenan) said this is his last term; we should give him our support. If he wants to continue to contest, it is okay. But, he is not a greedy person, he knows when to step down," he said.

"He has promised to give his best to the state, and we will support him so that he can fulfil his promises," Zahid added.
