KUALA LUMPUR – Hours after Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that Julau MP Larry Sng will be supporting ruling coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN), Sng confirmed his resignation from PKR.
Sng said after consulting with his fellow constituents over the past few days, they have made a collective decision for him to resign from PKR with immediate effect.
“There has been too much political instability over the past year, and this has damaged the country’s economy and people’s well-being.
“I truly believe that the best way forward is to put politics aside for now so that we can help stabilise and rebuild our beloved country together.”
Earlier, Muhyiddin said he received statutory declarations from Sng and PKR’s Tebrau MP Steven Choong stating their support for PN.
Sng said the prime minister is doing what is necessary to help Malaysians in this difficult time.
“I believe that I, too, should play a role in supporting him. Too much time has been wasted politicking and bickering while the people suffer.
“In my constituency of Julau, the poorest in the country, people are suffering due to the negative economic impact of the pandemic, as well as loss of jobs and income from low commodity prices.
“I have been unable to serve Julau effectively through lack of much needed development funds.
“With this move today, I am confident that I will be able to deliver my election promises to my electorate.”
Sng said he won his seat in 2018 as an independent candidate, and has declared himself to be a government-friendly independent. – The Vibes, February 28, 2021
