PBB leaders in Mas Gading Parliamentary Constituency rolled the dice out first in full support of Nogeh as the chosen candidate. The branches are Tasik Biru and Opar. This is very much in line with the 1BN spirit which Dr.Stephan Rundi BN Sarawak SG said on July 25 2012,”BN is strong because all component parties can work as one. When one of us is threatened, we will stay together and face that challenge”
He also said BN will be weakened if our machineries don’t work together as one. The opposition would take advantage and capitalise on this. It does appear that the message has slowly filtered down to the ground and the MAS Gading constituency is now awaiting only PRS to declare their full support to the candidacy of Anthony Nogeh.
Yesterday SUPP Bau leaders declared their full support to Nogeh as the SPDP candidate{see below full article}
The 1BN spirit should be fully capitalised in not only the 31 Sarawak constituencies but in the remaining 191 Parliamentary seats. If most of the “saboteurs’ or “traitors” are removed BN would not have too much of a problem in being returned as the ruling coalition to govern the country from 2013-2018.
The BN Supreme Council have already put the motion in order and it’s now up to the divisions and branches to follow through to show the true spirit of 1BN.
NOGEH AWAITS PRS UNDIVIDED SUPPORT TOO…

BAU: The SPDP recommended candidate for Mas Gading, Anthony Nogeh Gumbek, received another morale booster after SUPP Bau branch announced the formation of an election campaign committee to assist him in winning the constituency.
SUPP Bau branch chief Chong Bui Ling said the branch will only throw its support behind Nogeh despite talks the incumbent MP Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe was interested to contest as a BN direct candidate.
“We will only support the candidate from SPDP. We will not support any other person, organisation or club who want to contest here,” he told reporters after the branch’s Chap Goh Meh gathering at a restaurant here Tuesday night.
The pledge of support by SUPP Bau came just a few days after another BN component, PBB branches of Tasik Biru and Opar, announced their full support for Nogeh and formed their respective election operation centres to assist SPDP.
Nogeh, who has hit the trail in the constituency since his name was revealed, was also present at the gathering where he was warmly received by members of SUPP Bau branch.
On a related matter, Chong said SUPP Bau believed that a new member of parliament for Mas Gading would bring the much needed economic boost to Bau town.
He claimed that Dr Tiki, in his 15 years as the MP, had not been effective enough in implementing programmes which could spur the local economy and this had been a concern among the business community here.
“Our stand is very strong. Even though we appreciate the services and contributions made by Dr Tiki, we strongly think it is time for change.
“We want a new face, and we have full confidence in Anthony Nogeh as the best person to represent the constituency,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the business community here, he said they hoped Nogeh would assist them in realising the setting up of CIQ facilities at the border post of Serikin to facilitate cross-border trade with neighbouring Indonesia.
He said this has been the aspiration of the business community here as they want to forge better trade relations with their counterparts in the Indonesian towns of Bengkayang, Singkawang, Sambas and Pontianak.
“The towns of Bengkayang and Singkawang are closest to Bau. Imagine if there are proper facilities at Serikin, there will be bigger volume of business and this will benefit everyone.
The people from Indonesia will also come to Bau to shop and visit places of interests, and this will boost the local economy and tourism.
“For us the business community in Bau, the present CIQ complex in Biawak is too far for us because we have to drive about two hours just to get there,” he said.
Meanwhile, Nogeh in his remarks said he appreciated the pledge of support and assistance rendered by other BN components in Mas Gading.
“This is in line with the BN spirit of comradeship and solidarity, which is vital towards achieving victory,” he said.
He also thanked the community leaders who have been supporting him, and he pledged to do his best and work with all the communities in Mas Gading if elected as the MP.
