KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth Wing refutes a claim by the Election Commission (EC) that intense campaigning is expected to take place in Balingian where party president Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is the incumbent.

Its vice Youth chief Pandi Suhaili said the election commission should go to the ground to verify any report or feedback on the situation in each constituency.

“It is a mistake by the election commission to identify the seat as expected to have intense campaigning,” he said.

He added that EC should not listen and act based on any hearsay or rumours which were aimed to give negative perception about Taib.

On Monday, EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar announced that additional enforcement teams would be stationed in nine seats — Pantai Damai, Kota Sentosa, Batu Kawa, Kedup, Repok, Dudong, Pelawan, Nangka and Balingian — to cope with the expected intense campaigning in the constituencies.

Don’t be influenced by opposition – Pandi

Don’t be influenced by opposition – Pandi
Posted on March 30, 2011, Wednesday

KUCHING: Sarawakians must not let themselves be duped by the opposition parties that they have the people’s interest at heart.

This is because the only thing that matters to them is to be a dominant pact in the state and not to fight for the people’s interest, said PBB vice youth chief Pandi Suhaili.

He pointed out that the opposition pact’s true colour was evident when the various opposition parties spent all of their time sorting out their internal problems regarding seats allocation instead of attending to the rakyat.

“All this while, the opposition likes to project an image as the people’s fighter of which the interest of the rakyat is the paramount interest of the party.

“However, the pressure during the negotiation process has caused them to blurt out to admit that what matters to them is to be a dominant party in Sarawak and not the rakyat’s interest,” he said when contacted in Miri.

PBB Youth: Squabbles in PR confirm desire for power

Posted on March 19, 2011, Saturday

KUCHING: The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) youth wing has labelled the public squabbles of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) component parties over state constituencies as confirmation that they are only interested in getting power.

PBB vice-youth chief Pandi Suhaili said the tussle on seat allocation further strengthen the perception that the opposition is not concerned about the people’s welfare.

“The public squabbles on the seat allocation clearly shows that they are blinded and guided by their greed to wrest power from BN (Barisan Nasional) at all costs,” said Pandi, who is also the youth wing’s economy bureau chief, when contacted.

He said although Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and the Sarawak National Party (SNAP) might choose to put aside their differences later, voters should not be convinced by the supposed show of unity.

He pointed out that if the two parties are really sincere about serving the rakyat, they would not openly disagree over the constituencies.

PBB sec-gen denies party taking Bengoh from SUPP

Posted on March 15, 2011, Tuesday

KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) secretary-general Dr Stephen Rundi dismissed talks that his party was interested to take over Bengoh seat from Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) as mere “political rumours”.

This is because PBB had always been loyal to its fellow component parties in Barisan Nasional (BN) and would never resort to any tactic to undermine any component party, he pointed out.

“It is never in our agenda to backstab a fellow component party in BN. We will always cooperate with all the parties in BN,” he said when contacted yesterday.

PBB supreme council member Datuk Dr James Dawos was the first to respond to the rumours when he was asked by the press last Saturday.

He had said as far as BN was concerned, Bengoh was and would continue to belong to SUPP unless there was a seat swapping agreement.

KUCHING: The Parti Pesaka Bumiutera Bersatu (PBB) Youth movement thanked the Home Ministry for giving assurance that it would not leave any stones unturned in its investigation into the operation of Radio Free Sarawak (RFS).

Vice youth chief Pandi Suhaili said the movement felt relief with this assurance because it wants the radio station to stop from broadcasting its malicious lies to the rakyat.

“We are living in a multi-racial state by which it is of great importance for all of us to have a good relationship with all communities in order to have a peaceful life.

“Therefore, we must not condone any act of planting the seeds of hatred among the rakyat by irresponsible party such as RFS,” he said when met yesterday.

On Tuesday, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussein was quoted as saying the ministry would investigate into the operation of the radio station because “I want Malaysia to be safe.”

KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth is urging the police to take action against Radio Free Sarawak if investigation shows it has violated the country’s Sedition Act.

The Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) should also take action against the radio station if it is operating without a valid licence.

The party’s vice-Youth chief Pandi Suhaili said they decided to lodge a police report after Deputy Minister of Information, Communication and Culture Datuk Joseph Salang said MCMC could take action against the radio station.

“We hope the authorities take harsh action against the radio station because it is causing the rakyat to feel uneasy with the content of its broadcasting, which we understand is instigating them to hate the government,” he said when met at Simpang Tiga Police Station yesterday.

He added that the peace and harmony enjoyed by the rakyat were under threat from the radio station said to be operating illegally in the country.
