KUCHING: Former president of the now-dissolved Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB), Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh who is being accepted into Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) said he does not demand for any position in the Sarawak Cabinet.
He said following the dissolution of his party and now accepted into PDP, there was not any condition made.
“No. I don’t ask for anything. There are no conditions,” he said.
He said this to reporters when met at the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Hari Raya open house held at the DUN Complex on Sunday (Apr 14).
Wong, who was made a senior vice president of PDP following the dissolution of PSB and being accepted into PDP, said with his extensive experience as a minister previously and assemblyman, he will continue to contribute his service to the Sarawak government in further accelerating the development and progress of the state.
Later, commenting on the dissolution of PSB, he said PSB has made history by becoming the first political party in Malaysia to dissolve itself.
“The Registrar of Societies (RoS) in Putrajaya informed us that PSB is the first political party in Malaysian history to voluntarily dissolve itself.
“For other parties, they were deregistered. But not us, we voluntarily dissolved ourselves so that it could pave the way for us to join PDP and become part of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS),” he said.
Meanwhile, former PSB deputy president and now made PDP vice president, Johnical Rayong Ngipa expressed happiness that they were accepted into PDP and as members of the GPS component party.
The Engkilili assemblyman said with their participation in GPS, they will be able to provide better services to the people in their respective constituencies.
“We will provide all cooperation to the Premier who has performed his duties so excellently. As a result of his policies in managing the state and the people, we have progressed.
“Therefore, we want to work together, holding up to the ‘Segulai Sejalai’ spirit so that Sarawak continues to be strong and stable politically and economically, including the progress of the people, especially in the rural areas,” he said.
