S'WAK POLLS Former UPP president Wong Soon Koh said he incumbent Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem had the people of state on his mind even when critically ill at the Kuala Lumpur National Heart Institute three years ago.

Adenan's family members came home from all over the world fearing the worst, he said.

"When my wife and I went to visit him, he was still a bit conscious. He opened his eyes and said, "I worry for my people, I worry for my people". After this, he shut his eyes and, I thought he left the world just like that.

"After that, he recovered, and became our chief minister. I think it was given by God.
