ASAJAYA, Nov 14 2026: Caretaker Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has urged Sarawakians to exercise their constitutional and democratic right to vote with responsibility and wisdom in choosing their representatives, to ensure the democratic process and the formation of the state government proceed smoothly.
He said every voter must make a rational assessment, taking into account the background of political parties, the candidates contesting and their capabilities before making their choice.
He said the decision on choosing leaders should not be influenced by emotion, sentiment or any handouts by contesting candidates, but must instead be based on careful consideration and thorough evaluation.
Speaking at the opening of the 37th annual sports festival of Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Rebak 2026 today, he said Sarawakians will soon go through the process of choosing their representatives and forming the state government, and every citizen must therefore understand the importance of carrying out their democratic responsibility to the fullest.
Karim, who is also PBB information chief, reminded voters not to be easily swayed by the approaches or offers of contesting candidates, but to use their reasoning and good judgement in assessing every candidate and political party.
He said the right to vote is a trust and a right of every citizen that must be exercised with full awareness in determining the direction of leadership and the future of the state.
He hoped the voters would play their respective roles in ensuring the democratic process in Sarawak and Malaysia is carried out in a sound, mature and responsible manner.
