Sarawak General Election 2011
Such a waste for an experience person like Tan Sri Dr George Chan. He is the president of SUPP and defeated by DAP candidate who is younger than him. Tan Sri Dr George Chan defeated by Lin Sie Kiong with a majority 1590 votes in Piasau formerly known as Miri. As an opinion, he lost one "Mukim" and I think that they need to do postmortem to analyze what happen there. Six term and finally lost... people may fade up with their assembly man if he did not give changes for their own good. Life is just a wheel, sometime we are up and sometimes we are down and for those politiction out there, please remember to do your job fairly. I'm not pointing to Tan Sri Dr George Chan but as a reminder... think wisely.
