SIBU, July 4: Former Deputy President of Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) Sai Melaka announced today that he is leaving the party and that the PBDS Branch Sponsorship Committee for DUN N62 Katibas will be dissolved immediately.
At the same time, he said he would not be replying to a showcause letter from Acting PBDS President Major (R) Moses Ripai since he is leaving the party.
The letter dated June 16, 2023 required him to respond within 30 days.
“I announce myself to leave the party and the PBDS Branch Sponsorship Committee for DUN N62 Katibas is dissolved simultaneously and immediately.
“I am no longer interested in continuing the political struggle with PBDS which has been found to have lost direction and lost faith in the existing leadership,” Sai said in a statement.
He claimed PBDS has many problems in the party and the culture of bickering with each other was proven by the dismissal of eight Supreme Council members on April 15, 2023 by party secretary Kipli Ayom without reason and not by the PBDS Disciplinary Board.
“This shows improper and messy management.
“Because of our honesty, integrity, friendly and well-known attitude through non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and as Chairman of GAIU Johor, I have recently received many invitations to join other parties and no less from the ruling party.
“However, I will make the right decision to continue my political struggle so that it is approved and agreed by my grassroots supporters to continue the struggle together for a better nation in the future,” he stressed.
Sai said he would announce which party he would join shortly after discussions with grassroots supporters and party representatives are finalised. — DayakDaily
