SIBU: Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud calls on people living in urban centres to help rural folk acquire technical skills to meet the manpower needs of Sarawak Renewable Corridor of Energy (SCORE).

This was because those living in towns had a head-start in education due to the better facilities in urban areas.

“I have planned to expand Universiti Kolej Laila Taib (KLT) to groom more technical workers. It worries me when I think where to get these skilled workers.

KUCHING: PAS spiritual leader Datuk Seri Nik Aziz Nik Mat is dreaming if he thinks that Pakatan Rakyat supports the party’s stand that it is haram to conspire with Israel in any sort of way, says PBB Youth vice-chief Pandi Suhaili.

He pointed out the Kelantan Menteri Besar even failed to ask the Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to retract his statements in World Street Journal (WSJ) or sue the newspaper if it had misquoted him.

“I strongly believe that many leaders in the opposition camp, including those in PAS itself, agree with Anwar’s stance on Israel’s security.

“Maybe this episode will cost Nik Aziz his position in PAS because he might be seen as the main hurdle to the party’s ambition of winning Putrajaya together with PKR and DAP,” Pandi said.

Pandi also said he personally had high regards for Nik Aziz as a leader who had managed to keep Kelantan in the hands of PAS for so long.

KUCHING: The Opposition should be more responsible by suppor- ting the Government’s effort to make Sarawak the richest state by 2030.

PBB vice-youth chief Pandi Suhaili said they should not pour cold water on the efforts to create a better economy for the rakyat.

“All will benefit from the efforts. I am sure even children of Opposition supporters are also among those who are going to work in Tanjong Manis when the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) project has fully taken off the ground,” he said when contacted yesterday.

He said the state government needed support from all quarters to ensure that a massive project such as SCORE would be successful.

Pandi, who is also PBB Economy Bureau chief, said the Opposition could not blame him if he inferred that they were afraid the success of the project would have negative effects on their support base.
