PADAWAN: More than 3,000 former members of the deregistered Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) are urged to join Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) after the merger of the two political parties in April this year.
Former PSB Mambong branch chairman Sanjan Daik made the call at the closing of Gawai gathering for former PSP Mambong members at Barei Biperoh, Kampung Gerung, Borneo Heights Road here today.
In his speech, Sanjan explained and advised former PSB members to join PDP to support the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) led by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He said it was important for Sarawak to have a strong government so that those outside the state will have full respect for the state and its people.
“We need a strong government that can protect us from those trying to split us by spreading fear and hatred through racial and religious issues,” he added.
He also highlighted that the present state government was doing great with more development and initiatives being planned and implemented for greater Sarawak.
“It is observed that the present Premier (Abang Johari) has the vision to make Sarawak a high income state by the year 2030, the vision and efforts which we should support,” he added.
PSB was deregistered by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on March 19 this year and on April 6 this year during PDP dinner in Bintulu, the party president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing announced that all PSB members had joined PDP en bloc.
Meanwhile PDP Mambong branch chairman Sebastian Sakoi also advised former PSB members to register themselves as the party members.
