SABAH Progressive Party (SAPP), through its Vice President Datuk Chua Soon Bui, has reached an understanding with Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) on the parliamentary and state seats they are going to contest in the impending general election.
Chua, who is Tawau Member of Parliament, yesterday said she held discussions with PKR leaders in Kuala Lumpur recently and they had agreed in principle on one-to-one fight with the Barisan Nasional in the 13th general election.
“We support them (PKR) by giving more parliamentary seats and they will reciprocate on the state seats,” she said.
Chua said that with the understanding, SAPP would retain the four state assembly seats and two parliamentary seats it is holding now.
“Our common goal is to change the government with the people’s interest at heart,” she said, adding that a one-to-one fight will make it easier for the people to choose who they want as government.
She said the opposition parties must realise that fighting among themselves will not help their cause, and a consensus must be reached.
Meanwhile, Pakatan Rakyat Sabah said that DAP, PAS and PKR had almost settled the seat allocation in Sabah for the 13th general election.
“There are a few overlapping seats. The list has been submitted to the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) national leaders for their attention,” said Pakatan Rakyat Sabah after its 10th meeting in Kota Kinabalu on Saturday.
The three election directors of DAP, PAS and PKR Sabah will be working together to prepare for the coming election.
The PR Secretariat Sabah also announced their full support for Bersih 3.0 that is expected to be launched in Kuala Lumpur on April 28.
In the meeting, DAP was represented by Jimmy Wong, Fred Fung, Dr Edwin Bosi, Chan Foong Hin and Junz Wong; PAS by Hj Mohd Aminuddin Aling, Ag Liman Hj Ikin, Mohamad Hussein and Hamzah Abdullah, and PKR by Hj Ansari Abdullah, Jonathan Yassin, Datuk Kong Hong Ming, Dr Roland Chia and Stephen Sandor.

I think its because PKR is feeling inconfident to contest in certain areas since around 2,000 members from Keningau and Kota Belud has left the party to join Star.
ReplyDeletePKR is definitely not confident in winning the election. Even PKR own members quit and join other parties. That is a clear sign that PKR is losing. If you can't get your own members to walk with you, its impossible to get the people walk with you too.
DeletePKR knew that many of the Sabahans are no longer supporting them, many prefer to support local parties instead.
ReplyDeleteIni semua pembangkang sebulat suara atau sebahagian saja?
ReplyDeleteCan't say much about their agreement,better to wait and see whether they will really cooperate.
ReplyDeleteBetul atau tidak tu. Berapa banyak kli sudah dengar2 tapi tiada juga apa2.
ReplyDeleteSAPP hnya nak kerjsama dan PKR, dgn Star tidak pula, ini memperlihatkan SAPP masih ego.
ReplyDeleteonly PKR?? how about PAS and DAP?? do they agree with PKR decision??
ReplyDeletePakatan yang terkenal dengan sikap tamaknya tidak akan semudah itu memberikan laluan kepada parti2 tempatan Sabah untuk menentang BN satu lawan satu.. jika mereka sanggup, mereka sepatutnya telah memberikan laluan kepada SAPP menentang PBS di Batu Sapi..
