SIBU: Operation rooms in both rival camps – Barisan Nasional and DAP – are working at optimum pace to beat the clock.
A visit to both centres saw volunteers laying out their strategies for tomorrow.
The DAP operation room, located in Jalan Lanang, will be the hub of information dissemination for supporters, said a volunteer from Kanowit.
Preferring to be called Lim Kuan, he said: “Many Pakatan Rakyat top leaders are campaigning in Sibu.
“People here use to see them on television and the newspapers; now they have a chance meet them and listen to their speeches.”
It also gave DAP a chance to explain Pakatan Rakyat’s policies and its relationship with PAS.
"Since the last few days, DAP’s rating has moved up not only among the Chinese but also with the Iban and Melanau.
“Our friends (PKR and PAS) are also working very hard in the village areas," he told FMT.
Calm and confident
Meanwhile, in the BN operation room in a top-notch hotel here, all appeared calm.
There was an air of confidence, with one BN official, who declined to be named, saying: “Yes, we will win. But the question now is, how big a majority.”
He said BN’s top leaders were working very hard to retain the seat.
“ We (BN) are facing a great battle from the opposition. But I feel every thing will change after tonight (Prime Minsiter Najib Tun Razak is expected to arrive later this evening).”
Sibu’s 52,158 voters will go to the polls tomorrow to determine which of the two traditional rivals – DAP and Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) – will represent them in Parliament.
As at 5pm yesterday evening, DAP’s probability of a win has inched up to 49.2%.
