Uggah who is Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) deputy president also called on PBB leaders at the grassroots level in Betong to be familiar with the various Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) state government development policies formulated for the benefit of the people.
“All party leaders must be proactive in finding ways to assist the government in uplifting the peoples’ living standard through income generating programmes and activities.
“The Wanita and Pemuda leaders should effectively disseminate information and share their knowledge with the people including the farmers.
“In this way, they would be of a great service,” he said during the launching of Bukit Saban GPS roadshow as well as the launching of PBB Brutan Ulu sub branch at Rh. Hendary Jawan in Serudit Atas here last night.
