Sarawak Polls No Negotiation To Field Pn Candidates Pbb

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice-president Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has refuted the possibility of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) negotiating with Perikatan Nasional (PN) to have the latter's candidates fielded in the 12th Sarawak state election.
He said any outside party, whether sharing the same struggle as GPS at the national level or not, should not contest in the state polls.
“Let Sarawak parties look after Sarawak... whether Umno, Bersatu, PAS, DAP, or PKR… impossible (to contest here). Just look after the other states, no need to come to Sarawak,” he said.
Abdul Karim (above) spoke to reporters after officiating a "Belia Prihatin" programme in Kuching today.
He was commenting on speculation that there might be negotiations between the state's ruling coalition GPS and PN. This was after a video went viral showing PN's flags being printed which was linked to preparations for the state election.
He said the content of the video was not surprising as the term for the state's 11th legislative assembly would end on June 6.

Abdul Karim, who is also the state's Youth and Sports Minister, said the 12th state could be held if the emergency period in force until Aug 1 was not extended.
“I believe many political parties are preparing for their election campaign as there are only a few months left before August,” he said.
Currently, no general election, state election, or by-election can be held after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong assented to the emergency proclamation which is set to end after Aug 1.
