KIULU: GRS candidate for Kiulu, Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, urged voters to view development as a shared responsibility during his campaign rounds across several district polling centres on Wednesday.
Residents were reminded of his longstanding presence in the constituency, where his nickname DJB Tambalutku reflects a familiar and personal connection to local communities.
Joniston said his work has always revolved around listening, engaging and partnering with villagers, including those in Kampung Pahu who have consistently played a role in shaping local priorities.
He acknowledged differing political views among residents but stressed that most people share the same hope of seeing Kiulu progress in a steady and practical manner.
The incumbent said the foundation laid in the past term provides a clear structure for the next phase of development, and he pledged to continue working closely with communities to ensure local needs remain central to future planning.
