Walau bagaimanapun, pada masa yang sama Pergerakkan Pemuda PBB Sarawak enggan diheret dalam situasi politik yang lebih berbentuk kepada sandiwara yang sedang dipertontonkan kepada orang ramai.
Hal ini jelas dalam laporan akhbar tempatan terkini.
Mengulas kepada gesaan agar desakkan mengosongkan kerusi patut ditujukan juga kepada lima wakil rakyat dari SPDP yang dipecat dari parti kemudiannya menubuhkan Kelab Barisan Nasional, ini secara jelas menunjukkan YB Wong Judat gagal memahami situasi politik beliau sendiri.
Sekali lagi Pergerakkan Pemuda PBB Sarawak mengulangi pendirian - sekiranya YB Wong Judat secara rasminya keluar dari SPDP, dan kemudiannya menyertai SWP, beliau hendaklah mengosongkan kerusi Meluan sebagai tanda menghormati keputusan para pengundi yang memberi kemenangan kepada calon Barisan Nasional, iaitu beliau.

SARIKEI: Is Meluan assemblyman Wong Judat having second thoughts?
Following the hoo-hah over his announcement on July 21 that he would quit SPDP on July 31, Wong came out yesterday to say that news reports about his quit decision are “inaccurate”.
“As far as I am concerned, news reports on my decision to quit SPDP at the end of this month are inaccurate. I have yet to make an official announcement on the matter.
“It is common knowledge that such an important decision can only be confirmed in black and white or through an official letter,” he said when met by The Borneo Post yesterday.
Unlike his firm stand last Saturday, Wong played sly yesterday when he declined to rule out the possibility of him resigning from SPDP by reiterating “only an official letter can confirm this”.
After a `Pentas Rakyat’ gathering organised by Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) in Kanowit on July 21, Wong told reporters that he would quit SPDP, in which he is one of its vice president, to enable him to contest in Julau in the coming general election.
He had said then that he would be meeting party president Tan Sri William Mawan Ikom and deputy president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing in Kuala Lumpur on July 30 to explain his move, and then quit the following day.
But yesterday, Wong said until such time that he made his decision official he hoped political leaders from both sides of the political divide would not rush to make comments about his move.
“Nothing real has happened yet, so there is no basis or issue for anyone to comment on,” he remarked when asked to comment on statements issued by various quarters the last few days.
He described those who had opened their mouth as being “over anxious” and lacked patience when being confronted by such an unusual situation.
He singled out comments by PBB Bintulu Youth vice chairman Pandi Suhaili and State Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Datuk Roland Sagah in particular.
The three-term Meluan assemblyman said it was unfair for Pandi to request him to vacate Meluan when he (Wong) had not made his decision official.
He said Pandi had pre-empted his decision, adding he (Pandi) might as well call on the five elected representatives who were sacked from SPDP more than six months ago to vacate their seats as well.
The elected representatives shown the door by SPDP for gross insubordination were Datuk Peter Nansian Ngusie (Tasik Biru), Datuk Sylvester Entri (Marudi), Paulus Gumbang (Batu Danau), Rosey Yunus (Bekenu) and Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe (Mas Gading).
Wong said Sagah was being over anxious when he said he (Wong) would be seated with members of the opposition should he resign from the Barisan Nasional (BN), of which SPDP is a coalition partner.
“If Sagah feels he is making the right decision on my anticipated case, he should accord the five sacked SPDP assemblymen similar treatment by asking them to sit with the opposition members as well.”
Wong said like the sacked five, he could also form a BN Club to enable him to remain in BN should he decide to go through with his quit decision.

KUCHING: Meluan assemblyman Wong Judat once again rekindled talks that he had joined Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) after he was spotted wearing the party’s uniform at its ‘Pentas Rakyat’ in Lachau, 160km from here last Friday night.
The uniform even had his name inscribed on it. He was heard jokingly telling some of the people that he wore the uniform as ‘warming up’ as he would eventually join the party.
Wong had told reporters in Kanowit last week that he would quit Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) to join SWP on July 31.
He then told thesundaypost reporter in Sarikei earlier on Friday that the news reports about his decision to quit were ‘inaccurate’, and he reiterated that “only an official letter can confirm this.”
Meanwhile, in his speech during the function in Lachau, he once again continued with his attack on Julau MP Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum.
Wong is likely to contest in Julau under the SWP banner against Salang, also Deputy Minister of Information, Communication and Culture. Julau is one of the six seats held by Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) which are eyed by SWP.
Wong is a three-term Meluan assemblyman. He won the seat as an independent in 2001 and joined SPDP in 2003. He is now one of SPDP’s vice president.
Meanwhile, the function was also attended by SWP prime mover Dato Sng Chee Hua, who now calls himself the party advisor. Also present were former Simanggang assemblyman Michael Pilo, SWP president Larry Sng, former Lubok Antu MP Jawah Gerang and potential Sri Aman candidate Andy Lawrence.
Larry in his speech said the party was not just for the Sng family. “It is for all the races. And we will field young and capable candidates this parliamentary election and discard old style of politics when the reps only go to the ground when the election is round the corner. Our candidates will serve the people round the clock,” he claimed.
He also refuted claims that SWP had been set up to further split the Ibans. “The Ibans are in almost all the political parties in Malaysia well before SWP is set up. This allegation that we are splitting the Iban community is totally baseless,” he claimed further.
His father Sng said although he was Chinese, he felt comfortable with the Ibans and could understand them very well. “I may be Chinese but one thing for sure, I have many Iban friends and relatives,” he said.
Some 1,500 people crowded Lachau Bazaar during the function which also included live entertainment by popular recording artistes. Lachau is under Sri Aman parliamentary constituency, and is also a PRS seat.
