Violet Yong claims the GPS state government is only adding new seats where it can win, instead of taking into consideration the number of voters in the area.
PETALING JAYA: A Sarawak DAP assemblyman has slammed the state government’s proposal to add 17 new seats to the legislative assembly, calling it unfair, costly, and meant to shore up support for the ruling state coalition.
Violet Yong (DAP-Pending) said the move to increase the number of seats in the state assembly from 82 to 99 was “untimely, unfair, unnecessary and politically motivated”.
“"Yong also said the increase in state seats was being done without public consultation and would only worsen the unequal value of votes between ballots cast in rural and urban constituencies."
