KUCHING (Feb 28): Julau MP Larry Sng has switched his allegiance to Perikatan Nasional (PN) after he reportedly submitted his resignation from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

A post on Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s Facebook today said Sng and Tebrau MP Steven Choong had a statutory declaration (SD) in support of PN.

“Today I received SD from two MPs of the opposition who declared their support for the PN government,” announced the PN chairman on social media.

Muhyiddin said the two MPs signed and handed over the SD to him after a ministerial meeting held in conjunction with the PN government’s first anniversary.

“God willing, such support will certainly strengthen the PN government in its efforts to plan and manage the Covid-19 pandemic and serve as a catalyst to recover the country’s economy,” added the prime minister in the post.

Prior to this, PKR Sarawak secretary Joshua Jabeng told The Borneo Post Sng had submitted his resignation as their chairman.

However, Joshua said Sng did not tender his letter of resignation to the state committee but the headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

“He (Sng) informed us of his resignation during our central committee meeting yesterday. We acknowledge his intention to resign. Whatever the decision at the national-level leadership is, we abide by it,” he said.
