KUALA LUMPUR – Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu Sarawak (PBB) will not rejoin Barisan Nasional (BN) for now as the party is preparing for the coming state polls.
PBB senior vice-president Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the party is maintaining its stand to stay with Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
“Now we are in the federal government and have strong cooperation with Perikatan Nasional, which is a coalition of MPs from Bersatu and PAS, as well as Umno and BN components.
“For us, what is important is to focus on Sarawak itself in the context of development and the rights of Sarawak under the Malaysia Agreement 1963. We will stay with GPS but will cooperate with all parties,” said Fadillah, who is a senior minister in charge of the Works Ministry.
PBB left BN after the 2018 general election.
The other parties in GPS are Sarawak United People’s Party, Parti Rakyat Sarawak and Parti Demokratik Progresif.
The Sarawak state election must be held by July next year. – Bernama, September 29, 2020
