SUPP leaders led by President, Senator Datuk Dr. Sim Kui Hian congratulated Datin Patinggi Datuk Amar Jamilah Anu for winning 6,573 votes, which earned her a massive 6,443-majority over the 130 votes received by Rapelson Richard Hamit of Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak Baru (PBDS Baru), and 108 votes for Johnny Aput of State Reform Party Sarawak (STAR) in the just concluded Tg Datu by election.

Both Rapelson and Johnny lost their deposits.

Jamilah’s son Azizul Annuar Adenan, who was representing her at the tallying centre, thanked the voters for their solid support.

“Most importantly, I will assist my mother in continuing the service to the people here,” said Azizul, explaining that he would be shouldering this responsibility over the next few months as Jamilah is still observing the ‘eddah’ – a period of mourning observed by a Muslim woman following the death of her husband.
