UNITED FRONT: Dr Teo, flanked by Nurul Izzah (fourth right, front row) and Tian Chua, pledges to do his best to unseat Senadin imcumbent Lee.
MIRI: PKR candidate for Senadin, Dr Michael Teo Yu Keng, believes that the April 16 polls will be a political tsunami similar in scale to the one which engulfed the nation in 2008.
The 63-year-old gynaecologist, who is in a straight-fight against incumbent Datuk Lee Kim Shin (BN-SUPP), said the party’s de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was also optimistic of a good showing in this election.
“I want to win and am confident that there would be political tsunami. Anwar has informed us that there is good response from the people (towards PKR) at the rural areas throughout the state,” he told reporters after the official announcement of the candidates at the Miri Indoor Stadium yesterday.
Dr Teo said PKR’s strategy now was to convince the voters that they could do a better job in governing the state than the BN. Penang (which is under the DAP) and Selangor (under PKR) would be used extensively as examples to prove their
contention.
He added that he would also be talking about NCR land, 20 per cent oil royalty, better roads, money for Chinese schools, granting of recognition for the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), build a new port by the sea, and introduce transparent government tender processes.
Among those present were PKR vice president Nurul Izzah Anwar,
who is also Lembah Pantai MP, and Tian Chua, another PKR vice president Tian Chua, who is also Batu MP.
Dr Teo has been involved in election twice before but lost both times. In the 2006 state election, he also challenged Lee.
Then in 2008, he contested in Sibuti against Ahmad Lai Bujang from PBB.
