Senator Abun Sui Anyit advocates for one of Sarawak's 17 new state seats to be located between Telang Usan and Belaga districts, citing the vast area, remote Orang Ulu communities, and logistical challenges. He emphasizes the need for stronger political representation for these communities in the State Legislative Assembly and government decision-making. He highlights Belaga district's large size and the difficulty for current representatives to serve the dispersed population, referencing the Deputy Prime Minister's statement linking the seat increase to Sarawak's geography. He urges the Election Commission and Sarawak government to ensure the new seats promote inclusivity and justice for all, especially underrepresented rural areas.
