SANDAKAN (Bernama): DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang is confident voters in the Sandakan parliamentary constituency will help the party retain the seat in the upcoming by-election by backing its candidate, Vivian Wong Shir Yee. If Wong is chosen as a Parliamentarian, the vote count will become 139 and we hope to get another vote," he said when speaking at the DAP ceramah in Kampung Mangkalinau here Wednesday (May 1). He said attracting more tourists to Sandakan would require a world-class airport, besides other conveniences. Chong, meanwhile, said efforts to repair the bridge in Kampung Mangkalinau would also be done soon, while the electricity supply would also be better organised to avoid any untoward incidents such as illegal connections. Meanwhile, Kampung Mangkalinau village head Mohamad Idris, 51, hoped that the village, established about 30 years ago, will be officially recognised, to enable it to receive better facilities from the government.
