Deputy Chairman of DAP Sarawak could not contain his happiness at the impact that was brought by opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to Sarawak political scenario.
"He bring hope, that guy bring hope," Chiu Chiu Sing told Sarawak Update in a telephone interview from Bintulu.
Chiu said the people waited for Anwar at the airport for hours despite the uncompromising weather.
His flight was delayed but yet people continued to wait, nobody leaves the airport although they were not paid to welcome him, Chiu pointed.
He said thousands of people came to listen to Anwar at the function despite the weather problem.
"When he started speaking it was drizzling, people stay to listen to his messages of hope for change. In the middle of the speech it got heavier, but nobody moved, they stayed to listen until Anwar finished his one and half hour speech," Chiu revealed.
Chiu insisted that most of the people who came are not only seeking entertainment or free meals but serious about wanting to know what Anwar is propagating.
"They do not come just to see how this man look like, they want to listen personally what Anwar have to say about change that is steadily taking place in Malaya that should be taking place in Sarawak too," Chiu added.
Chiu, who is one of three member panel of DAP negotiator with PKR, was very happy the meeting with Anwar was fruitful.
"Me, Wong Ho Leng and Chong Siew Chiang managed to meet him and lay a working foundation for us. There will be more meeting in the future and there is still a lot of time because we do not expect the election to be held anytime soon," he said.
Chiu is optimistic that Anwar by virtue of being Sarawak PKR leader will be able to understand the situation on the ground with frequent meeting.
"We are not trying to disturb others or disturb PR arrangement but is trying to service the people because every constituency is important to us," he explained on DAP movement in Dayak majority areas.
Chiu said they did contest in Malays and Dayaks majority area before but the result was not that encouraging.
"The political scenario at that point of time was different," he warned.
