SIBU: The 12 Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Selangau committee members, who quit all party positions and the party recently, will follow in the footsteps of Selangau MP Baru Bian in joining Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB).

Former deputy branch chief Simon Joseph confirmed the decision when contacted yesterday.

“We are declaring our undivided support and full trust in YB Tuan Baru Bian’s leadership and his decision to pursue our struggle to stand for Sarawakians through PSB,” he said.

(Seated, from left) Jimbai, Mathew, Simon, and others have pledged their support for Baru.

Simon said Baru’s commitment, mission, and dedication in striving for a better Sarawak for all races, creeds, and religions was laid out in his ‘Vision of Hope’, which represented a comprehensive overview of the way forward for Sarawak.

“We have the utmost confidence and are convinced that YB Baru Bian’s vision and his choice of PSB, is the right platform to fight for a better Sarawak,” he added.

Simon viewed PSB as a local-based Sarawakian party that emphasised on land rights, education, economy, infrastructure, an autonomous Sarawak under Malaysia Agreement 1963, and also ensuring harmony in the multiracial society.

He said the group strongly believed that PSB was ‘a rising star in Sarawak’s political landscape, and will ensure that the dreams of Sarawakians are fulfilled’.

“Let’s join hands together and be part of history to make Sarawak a better and fairer place that we can always call home. We shall be honoured if called upon to serve Sarawak together with PSB,” Simon added.

The others in the group are former PKR Selangau secretary Mathew Vanyui; vice-chairman Ambrose Kilang; committee members Jimbai Agan, Sam Mawan, Banyang Tedong, Sengiang Jalai, and Ambon Ladon; Sibentik sub-branch chief Muhd Ensali; Sekuau branch women’s wing committee member Lily Anem; and Sekuau sub-branch women’s wing committee members Sati Banta and Theresa Gumbek.
