Parties going with the flow by fielding new faces for Sarawak state election — academicians. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUCHING (Dec 5): The selection of candidates for the 12th Sarawak state election has shown that major parties in the state are receptive to the current political trend and are more willing to accommodate the wishes of voters.
Universiti Malaysia Sarawak assistant vice-chancellor of leadership and development Prof Datuk Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rahman said this is evident from the slate of fresh faces put forward for the polls, with some parties even making a bold move to change incumbents in several seats.
"The candidates nominated by the parties have been vetted to ensure they can win. For example, just look at Gabungan Parti Sarawak's (GPS) decision to introduce new faces from among youth and women representatives.
"This shows that they are very receptive to the current trend (in which) people want to see change, that is a mix of old and young candidates," he told Bernama.
