Key rivals take campaign to cyberspace

(FMT) –  In the war to woo and convince Sibu’s “under-40s” community to back them, lead rivals in the Sibu parliamentary by-election – DAP’s Wong Ho Leng and Barisan Nasional’s Robert Lau Hui Yew – have taken their campaign into cyberspace.

Ho’s camp is kick-starting his campaign on Youtube today while Lau launched his website yesterday.

DAP Bandar Sibu by-election director, Chong Chieng Jen, said the videos would be uploaded today after Wong’s candidacy becomes official.

Speaking at a press conference, Chong said the two five-minute videos was part of the party’s strategy to reach out to the young voters.

He said the videos were in three languages – Mandarin, English and Bahasa Malaysia.

Also present with him yesterday were two MPs from the Peninsula – Teo Nie Ching (Serdang) and Tony Pua (PJ Utara).

Lau’s Facebook

Lau is using his website to “bring people closer to him” and to keep them informed of his activities.

“In the website, I have a space for my voters so that they can leave messages or give me feedback on my campaign,” he said.
