Its vice-president Wong Judat revealed this when he distributed the 12-band radio receivers to the first batch of recipients at the party’s operation room here yesterday.

According to Wong, he had received the first 100 radio receivers for distribution to the JKKKs and longhouse chiefs in Julau constituency and he expected some more to come soon.

The devices were meant for the people to receive information disseminated by SWP through SW15650 KHz of ‘Radio Kenyalang’ to be aired from 8pm to 10pm every Thursday and Friday, he said.
