KUCHING: Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) said it was amused by what it described as a “vitriolic attack” by the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing against its acceptance of Sri Aman MP Datuk Masir Kujat into the party.
Tiong had accused PSB of being “hypocritical” in its declaration of support for the Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
PSB also viewed as “gravely misplaced” an allegation by Tiong that because of PSB “there will be war among the Sarawak-based political parties leading to the disintegration of GPS”.
PSB said: “If anything, unity within GPS is more likely to be threatened by its own component parties fighting over seats.”
“We’re amused because because Tiong was strangely silent when three Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Tan Sri William Mawan, Paulus Gumbang and Rosey Yunus) joined PBB and brought their seats with them, seats that were traditionally held by PDP,” PSB secretariat said.
“In the cross-over by the three ADUNs, PDP lost three seats to PBB, but Tiong did not challenge PBB then, nor did he call PBB hypocrites when his party PDP lost those seats to PBB.
“However, in recent times, Tiong has demanded that PBB return those three seats to PDP plus another two seats that were supposed to be allocated to PDP but were won by BN direct candidates who then proceeded to join PBB,” said PSB.
