KUCHING – Despite winning only one out of five seats it contested in the 15th general election, Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) will support whichever coalition that can form the government.

Julau incumbent, and the sole MP from PBM, Datuk Larry Sng said the party will lend its support to ensure the nation’s political stability.

“We want to ensure the new government will have political stability, so that the country can move forward and focus on important issues such as the economy and addressing the interests of East Malaysians,” he said in a Facebook post today.

Sng won the seat with a 1,340-vote majority after receiving 9,159 votes.

He has kept the seat since winning it in 2018 from Parti Rakyat Sarawak president Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum, who was the Julau MP from 1999 to 2018.

Sng beat three others – Salang who polled 7,819 votes; independent candidate Elly Lawai Ngalai with 5,224 votes; and Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak’s Susan George, who garnered 335 votes. – Borneo Post Online, November 20, 2022
