Press Release

The Southern Rural Committee in a meeting today asks PKR on why it remains wishy-washy on its relationship with PAS. These few points are to note;

1. PKR Sarawak's association with PAS will only give PAS a foothold n grow in Secular Sarawak.

2. There is no point for PKR Sarawak to state that it opposes hudud but work with a party that has its agenda to implement hudud.

3. Does PKR Sarawak has to listen to their west Malaysian leaders on important issues and do not have the power to decide on important issues.  if that is the case, cannot effectively protect Sarawakians' interest.

4. Even PKR Sarawak Chairman is appointed by the national leadership, it is not elected amongst the Sarawakian members. This compromises the independence of decision making process of PKR Sarawak.

Thus PKR Sarawak's continued association and cooperation with PAS, it is an indirect assistance to PAS' hudud agenda.

Why is PKR Sarawak unable to follow the brave position by PKR Sabah which has severed their political relationship with PAS?

We have had our meetings with our members in all our areas and the consensus is that due to its hudud agenda, PAS has no place in Sarawak politic. 

The allegation by PKR that DAP is joining Barisan Nasional is utterly ridiculous.  Sdr Lim Kit Siang only proposes that all political parties in Malaysia to form a new coalition Government so as to push Najib out as he has been the main perpetrator behind this push for Hudud laws. 

It is his suggestion that there should be a non-BN and non-PR alliance government to protect our constitution and the sanctity of secularism in Malaysia.

On another note, Sdr Leon added that DAP Sarawak's Dayak membership is now nearly 50% of the total DAP Sarawak membership. To paint that DAP Sarawak is entirely a chinese based party is utterly ridiculous and perpetrated by parties that are uneasy about the amazing strides DAP Sarawak has made into the Dayak heartland.
