KUCHING (Dec 22): Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin has questioned the decision of outgoing PKR Sarawak President Larry Sng to run for the post first.
“If he thinks a Dayak leader is more relevant, why do you have to run for the competition to be president?” told reporters when asked about Sng’s decision to step down as party chairman.
Willie, who was president of the PKR Mambong branch, did not comment further when further pressured about his former party.
The Deputy Minister of Plantation and Commodity Industries won the seat of Puncak Borneo under PKR in the last general election.
He left the party along with Saratok MP Ali Biju and nine other PKR MPs after former party vice president Azmin Ali was fired.
Sng announced yesterday his resignation as chairman of PKR Sarawak to pave the way for a Dayak leader to lead PKR in the 12th State Election.
He said in his Facebook post that he would discuss the selection of his replacement and the leadership transition with his party president in the coming days.
Meanwhile, on the recent issue of 23 MPs who presented their signatures to Dewan Rakyat’s president, Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun, as a witness to his alleged obscene gesture in Parliament earlier this month, Willie believed the opposition was trying to politicize the topic.
“I even asked the Speaker then and he couldn’t see. I’m pretty sure I didn’t show my middle finger. But they (the opposition) see it from a different angle.
“I think they just want to politicize the issue because the opposition has no ideas to help the country, so even this kind of thing tries to politicize,” he said.
He said he would leave the matter to Parliament.
“If they bring me to the Select Committee, I will challenge them on the Select Committee,” he said.
On December 7, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong and Hulu Langat MP Datuk Hasanuddin Mohd Yunus presented their motions with the signatures of 23 MPs as witnesses to confirm that Willie had shown the middle finger and refer it to the Rights and Rights Committee. Privileges of Parliament.
Willie was charged with diverting the obscene gesture toward the opposition bank on December 1 after delivering his liquidation speech as deputy minister of Industries and Commodities.
