WHILE PKR has welcomed
Beaufort MP, Lajim Ukin and Tuaran MP Wilfred Bumburing with open arms, its
Pakatan Rakyat partner DAP would have reservations about accepting the two from
BN.
Kota Kinabalu MP Hiew King
Cheu (left), who is Sabah DAP advisor, told Oriental Daily News that the duo
should have resigned from BN if they are really against the coalition.
He pointed out that Lajim
still has Umno membership and holds the post of deputy minister, obviously
while waiting for Umno president and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to sack
him.
“But his action may give the
negative impression that he is up for sale,” Hiew was quoted as saying.
If the duo are sincere, he
said, they should draw a clear line between themselves and the BN by giving up
all party and government posts, and joining Pakatan.
In another development, Umno
supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi alleged that PKR de facto leader
Anwar Ibrahim may have enticed Lajim to defect by offering money.
“It is not impossible that
financial approach has been used by Anwar who advised Lajim to resign his post
after seeing that Najib was not listening to his views,” the Deputy Education
Minister said in a Sinar Harian report yesterday.
“We know Anwar is also known
as ‘three-billion (ringgit) man' (based on media reports). Therefore he may
have used financial resources to persuade Lajim to (leave Umno).”
‘No
other quit letters’
Beaufort Umno Deputy
Chairperson Isnin Aliasnih said the division remains intact after the
resignation, although Lajim had led the division for 26 years.
According to a Berita Harian
report, he dismissed Lajim's claim that 15 of the 35 committee members of the
division would follow in Lajim's footsteps.
“Where are their resignation
letters? There is none. Just talking. We want to see evidence,” he reportedly
said.
“There are 35 division
committee members. Lajim said 15 will follow him but there is no letter at all.
The division is indeed hot like walking on fire but, God willing, it will not
be destroyed simply because of Lajim's resignation.”
Macam-macam berlaku sejak akhir-akhir ni. huhu
ReplyDeleteHarap semuanya akan kembali tenang dan tidak ada lagi ketegangan seperti ini timbul.
ReplyDeleteKalau Lajim benar2 tidak melihat pada wang pastinya dia tidak meletakkan jawatan disebabkan Anwar menggunakan kuasa wang.
ReplyDeleteDAP ni memang selalu meragui mana2 parti yang mau bekerjasama dengan PR. susah untuk bagi kerjasama.
ReplyDeletejika begini susahlah kerjasama nak wujud dikalangan mereka.
Deleteselagi pembangkang berpecah, selagi itu mereka sukar nak menang.
ReplyDeletePembangkang harus mencari cara untuk bekerjasama agar kedudukan di Sabah bertambah baik berbanding PRu13.
DeletePembangkang memberi saingan giat kepada Bn.
DeletePembangkang semakin kuat di Sabah.
ReplyDeletePasti ada offer yang baik dari pembangkang. Dari segi kedudukan dan manfaat lain?
ReplyDeleteWalaubagaimanapun, Lajim tetap berjasa untuk BN. Kini beliau nak keluar, hormatilah keputusan beliau.
ReplyDelete“It is not impossible that financial approach has been used by Anwar who advised Lajim to resign his post after seeing that Najib was not listening to his views,” the Deputy Education Minister said in a Sinar Harian report yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIni cuma Lajim dan Anwar tahu apa yang berlaku.
Kenapa Lajim nak tunggu sehingga dilucutkan pangkat?
ReplyDeletedah lah tidak sehaluan, lebih baik keluar dari BN dan mencari parti yang lebih sama agenda perjuangannya.
ReplyDeleteSabah DAP has extended its welcome former BN parliamentarians Lajim Ukin and Wilfred Bumburing who left the ruling coalition recently to work with the opposition "to bring change to Sabah".
ReplyDeleteSabah DAP is double standard.
