He, however said that the status of candidacy of the potential candidates has yet to be confirmed.
“Wait for the time, I will officially announce the confirmed candidates when I give them the ‘surat watikah’ (credentials),” he added.
When asked when he would be announcing the confirmed candidates, he said it would be very soon and the announcement could come before the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) announce their candidates list.
On the visit to the Central Market, he said it was part of the programme for the PSB members, especially the potential candidates to meet the hawkers at the market.
“We just want to say hello to them and give them sanitiser, face masks from Japan and some publicity materials.
“I will come back again when it is time for us to give the manifesto. Our manifesto is to look after the general well-being of the people,” he added.
