S’wak DAP protests EC splitting Pending area into 3 seats
Pending assemblyman Violet Yong urges the EC to explain its justification for the move, saying it will split up the community.
Sarawak DAP leader Violet Yong has voiced opposition to the Election Commission's plan to split the Pending constituency into three separate seats. The proposed redelineation would relocate 6,578 voters from Kenyalang Park to a new Tabuan Jaya seat, while another 1,845 voters from Taman Supreme would be moved to Tabuan Jaya as well. The Simpang Tiga area would be designated under Padungan.
Yong, who represents the Pending constituency, appealed to the EC to provide a rationale for this move, emphasizing that it would disrupt the community. She argued that keeping the area united is crucial as residents share similar issues and rely on the same infrastructure. Yong has already gathered the required 100 signatures from Pending voters to formally protest the EC's decision and is actively seeking additional support.
