KUCHING: The reasons given by People’s Progressive Party (PPP) for its decision to spread its wings to the state are baseless, said Parti Pesaka Bumiputera (PBB) Youth vice-chief Pandi Suhaili.
He added the peninsula-based party should not use locals as their front to grab seats from the component parties of State Barisan Nasional (BN).
“Recently the party said 500 Sarawakians wanted the party to come to the state but why can’t the party leaders take a cue from Umno’s decision not to come in despite having so-called 70,000 Sarawakians wanting the party to come as claimed by JPUNS (Jawatankuasa Penaja Umno Negeri Sarawak),” he asked.
Pandi said it was obvious that the party never had any intention of helping the State BN despite claims made by the party leaders.
“What we can see is the party has an ulterior motive and is using locals to accomplish its objective.
