MIRI – Sarawak PKR vice-chairman Dr Teo Yu Keng has blamed the absence of new voters – especially youths – for skewering the turnout in rural Sarawak to mainly comprise older voters who are afraid to rock GPS’ stranglehold.

He said his party could not break down the mental barriers that have gripped these older rural voters.

“This is a sad phenomenon,” he remarked to The Vibes.

“We thought we had made some breakthroughs as there were so many social and economic problems that they are facing.

“We thought they would opt for change. Sadly, most of these older generations in the end still opted for GPS as they are afraid of drastic change.”

Sarawak PKR failed to win any of the 27 seats it contested in the state polls held today.
