SIBU (19 October): Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) The president of the Ngemah branch protection committee, Susan Clement Ingun, and the head of the youth, Lembat Atau, announced their decision to leave the party today.
Susan told a press conference here that some 200 members had also decided to leave PSB with them and pledge their support for the state’s ruling coalition, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
He said they had lost faith in PSB’s leadership because of their inability to contribute not only in terms of development but also in the well-being of the people.
“When PSB was renamed UPP (United People’s Party) in 2019, we thought we had made the best decision to join the party as a new platform for ourselves and the people. Our vision at the time was to be a platform for those who have been neglected in development.
“But after a while, we started to notice the dark side of the party. We are no longer free to give our ideas or express our weaknesses, ”he said, claiming there were hidden agendas at PSB.
“We don’t see PSB making plans to help people. All they did was criticize the state government and make fun of our leaders.
“We don’t see them contribute in terms of development for the people. What they do is condemn any development that the state government gives to the people, “he explained.
She told The Borneo Post when contacted that they would be joining Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS).
Meanwhile, PRS President Tan Sri Dr. James Jemut Masing, who was also present at the press conference, said he was happy to welcome the support of former PSB members to GPS.
He considered them going back to where they once belonged, as most of them were before his group.
On Ngemah’s candidate in the upcoming state elections, Masing said it was the prime minister who should decide.
“Whoever the candidate is or if there will be a substitute, it does not depend on the party. We can nominate, but the prime minister will back him.
“That’s why I told you just now … they may not be happy with the current elected representative, but the decision rests with the prime minister,” he said.
Lembat had previously stated that they will support GPS if the incumbent is not reappointed in the next state elections.
“We will support whoever is designated by GPS, but they should not be the incumbent,” he said.
The incumbent is Alexander Vincent of PRS, who has been an assemblyman for two terms.
