Seramai 20 Ahli Parlimen Sabah dan Sarawak menyatakan pendirian tidak akan melompat parti seperti yang diheboh-hebohkan oleh Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) sebelum ini dalam sidang akhbar di Parlimen semalam.

Kenyataan yang dibuat oleh parti pembangkang itu disifatkan mereka sebagai satu pembohongan.

Sebaliknya Menteri Perpaduan, Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan, Datuk Seri Mohd. Shafie Apdal berkata, sokongan Ahli Parlimen dari Sabah dan Sarawak tidak berbelah terhadap pucuk pimpinan Barisan Nasional (BN).

Turut menyatakan sokongan pada sidang akhbar itu ialah Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok; Timbalan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Douglas Unggah Embas; dan Ahli Parlimen Kinabatangan, Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin.

KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah and Sarawak members of parliament (MPs) yesterday pledged their support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and the Barisan Nasional (BN) in an effort to squash rumours of MPs crossing over that have intensified with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim back in parliament.

“It is a lie. We are not goods, items, commodities that can be sold. We are not that. Our stand is very clear and firm. We are not going to move from BN,” said Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Shafie Apdal, adding that the Sabah and Sarawak BN MPs remained undivided in their loyalty and support to the BN and were tired of the rumours of a crossover.

“We are now preparing a formal pledge which will be initiated by all the Sabah and Sarawak BN MPs. We hope to present it to the prime minister over the next few days,” Shafie told reporters at parliament lobby where he was joined by 20 of the MPs.

However, the two MPs from Sabah’s People Party (SAPP) were not seen with the group. Sarawak and Sabah have collectively 56 parliamentary seats.

Shafie said Pakatan Rakyat had been fabricating the issue of crossover by the BN MPs.

He said the pledge was made to reaffirm statements by Sabah and Sarawak chief ministers earlier that none of the states’ MPs would cross over to Pakatan Rakyat.

“The people had given their mandate to us to develop and make changes to the constituencies. Their trusts and belief in us cannot be traded,” he said.
