Its president, Datuk Yong Teck Lee, said that as such, SAPP’s two members of Parliment Datuk Eric Majimbun and Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui were not individual independents.
“They are from SAPP representing Sabah interests. However, SAPP will participate in non-BN bodies that promote Sabah’s interests.
“On this basis, SAPP’s two MPs are part of the Parliamentary Caucus on petroleum led by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah because this directly affects Sabah’s interests,” he said in a statement here today.
In rebutting comments by Pasir Mas Datuk Ibrahim Ali in a news portal, Malaysiakini, and other media yesterday suggesting that SAPP’s two MPs were part of his “independent block”, Yong said:
“Our stance remains that we left the BN government in 2008 because we have lost confidence on the BN resolving Sabah’s problems which have since got worse by the day.
“This is why SAPP is cooperating with the opposition Pakatan Rakyat in Parliament to topple this BN administration.
“Any lies by some politicians in Kota Kinabalu, Sipitang and Sandakan and on the Internet in recent days that SAPP is returning to BN are desperate attempts to weaken SAPP’s struggle for Sabah,” he said. — Bernama
