Dato Sri Tiong King Sing
SIBU (Dec 20): Newly-elected Dudong assemblyman Dato Sri Tiong King Sing said he will engage different communities to create committees to look after matters in specific areas in the constituency soon.
Tiong, who is also Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) president, believed that through these committees, they will be able to discuss and formulate the right strategies and guidelines to resolve each issue or problem with the correct solution together.
“This would also take cooperating with each other. Together we can all start building a liveable, peaceful and developing Dudong. Come to me if you need to report any problems,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Tiong, who is also Bintulu MP, said after his thumping victory in Dudong, he will not be resting but will immediately get down to work for the benefit of the constituents.
“It is the best way we can thank the voters for their support and giving a chance for us to serve you. Once again, this is a victory for all the voters of Dudong.
“It is a great start to support each other to make Dudong better. It is an opportunity for us to work hand in hand and I look forward to work with people in my hometown (Dudong) to create a better future,” he added.
Tiong took the opportunity to expressed his appreciation to the media for being very supportive of the party’s efforts to win Dudong.
“I also cannot thank our voters enough for this trust and support. Without you, there can be no victory and no way to achieve new heights for Dudong,” he said.
