In a statement earlier, the Sarawak chapter’s secretary Joshua Jabeng said any letter of dismissal would be issued by PKR secretary-general if the disciplinary board agrees to terminate the membership of the divisional leaders. Willie, who is also the deputy minister of plantation industries and commodities, and Ali, the deputy of energy and natural resources, reportedly joined Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, while Baru opted to become an Independent MP.Simon Siah, when contacted, said he has yet to receive any show-cause letter from the disciplinary board and that he has no idea what could be the charge against him personally.
“The world is trying to fight this coronavirus disease pandemic and all Joshua Jabeng and the new leadership of state PKR under Sng are concerned about is to get more power by recommending the sacking of the branch chairmen,” he said.
