BINTULU: The political situation surrounding Meluan assemblyman Wong Judat is a farce for the public to marvel at, claimed state PBB Youth vice-chief Pandi Suhaili.

Wong, who is also SPDP vice-president, was reported to be still undecided on his future in the party although he was reported to have said earlier that he would quit it and join Sarawak Workers Party (SWP).

Commenting on Wong’s call for him (Pandi) to ask the five elected representatives from SPDP who were sacked from the party and who then set up BN Club to also vacate their seats, Pandi said this clearly indicated that Wong had failed to understand his own political situation.

The three-term Meluan assemblyman was reported to have said that it was unfair for Pandi to request him to vacate Meluan seat 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 too.

Pandi, on the other hand, welcomed Wong’s decision for not making any official statement on his move yet before meeting SPDP president Tan Sri William Mawan Ikom and his deputy Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.

“However, at the same time, Sarawak PBB Youth wing doesn’t want to be hauled in such political situation as it is more like a farce that is being shown to the public,” said Pandi in a statement yesterday.

The Youth wing reiterated that if Wong eventually leaves SPDP and joins SWP, he must vacate his seat as a respect to the voters in his constituency who voted him under Barisan Nasional ticket.

In previous reports, 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.

He described those who had commented as being “over anxious” and lacking patience when confronted by such an unusual situation.
