KUCHING: April 26, 2008
Several leaders in Sarawak National Party (SNAP) are ready to defect to PKR, said party secretary Edmund Stanley Jugol.
Confirming his intention to join PKR, Jugo said it was a matter of timing for the leaders to move.
“There is so much more prospect in the Pakatan Rakyat. I will prefer to be part of this bigger group than to remain in SNAP,” he said yesterday.
Jugol, a former political secretary to the Chief Minister, indicated that his son, Darrel Walter Entrie, who is also SNAP youth leader, would also join PKR.
He said two other SNAP central executive committee (CEC) members Frankie Bedindan and Sylvester Belayong were also interested in joining PKR.
Jugol, Entrie, Bedindan and Belayong were among the SNAP members and several other Dayak leaders who met up with PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during his visit here on Thursday.
None of them are elected representatives.
Anwar also introduced Nicholas Bawin, the protem chairman of the yet-to-be-registered Malaysian Dayak Congress (MDC), during a PKR gathering at a hotel here.
Jugol said he had yet to resign from SNAP and would discuss his intention to join PKR with its CEC members.
SNAP president Edwin Dundang has said recently that he supported a proposal to dissolve SNAP, which produced Sarawak’s first Chief Minister in the late Tan Sri Stephen Kalong Ningkan, if it was good for the people.
