Pas almost certain to contest three Sarawak seats, says state chief

KUCHING: Pas will likely contest three state seats in the coming Sarawak election, says the Islamist party's state chief, Mohammad Arifiriazul Paijo.

He said the party was eyeing Semariang, Sebuyau and Beting Marau, although the final decision rested with the Pas central leadership.

He said Sarawak Pas had proposed contesting the three seats and that its election machinery in the areas was ready.

Arifiriazul said the party was also considering contesting another seat in northern Sarawak, either within the Bintulu or Sibuti parliamentary constituency.

However, he said Pas was not ready to disclose which seat it was considering.
