PENAMPANG: The position of the two former Barisan
Nasional (BN) members of parliament who switched allegiance to Pakatan
Rakyat is beginning to be questioned by several opposition leaders,
claimed Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) information chief Datuk Johnny
Mositun.
He said Beaufort MP Datuk Lajim Ukin and his Tuaran
counterpart, Datuk Wilfred Bumburing prior to this, had also jumped from
PBS to Umno and Upko (formerly known as Parti Demokratik Sabah).
“What
is happening now it seems that their (Lajim and Bumburing) political
direction is facing challenges when several Pakatan Rakyat leaders
started to question their position even though they were recruited by
Datuk Anwar Ibrahim,” he said.
Opening the PBS Moyog annual
general meeting here Sunday, Mositun said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)
Sabah chief Ahmad Thamrin Jaini had questioned the authority of Lajim’s
Sabah Reform Alliance (PPS) who was leading negotiation for the
Umno-held seats in Sabah because he is said to have support in these
Muslim-majority areas.
While Bumburing through his Sabah Reform
Movement (APS) had disappointed Star and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP)
with his intention of going for the Kadazaundusun Murut (KDM)-majority
seats in the coming election.
Towards this end, Mositun called on
party members to accept with an open heart the decision of the
leadership, particularly in the selection of candidates for the general
election.
He said they should continue to lend their full support to the BN candidates no matter which party they are from.
PBS members must continue to heed the advice and decision of president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, he said.
“In fact this is the secret of our strength all this while,” he said.
Among
those present at the meeting were vice president Rakam Sijim, supreme
council member OKK William Majimbun and PBS Moyog chief John Masabal.
