 KUCHING - Padungan state sssemblyman Dominque Ng laughed off speculation Thursday that he would be joining Zaid Ibrahim's new party Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (KITA).When contacted, the Pending ADUN said, “This is the first time I heard I am joining KITA. I am happy with PKR so what was rumour remains a rumour.” PKR state chief Baru Bian also clarified at a press conference here that he has not heard about Ng's plan to switch party. He said he hopes that Sarawak PKR members would be wise not to jump ship, noting that it is the choice of individual to choose their own party. He asked those who have plans to change party to compare PKR with KITA before making their decisions. Baru Bian added he did not think KITA would make it as a formidable third force, saying that "It’s quite unknown here (Sarawak) and people here either opt for PR or BN." The PKR state chief claimed that PKR has a better platform which had been tested and known from results shown in the last election. “Our policies and manifesto is clear for the people to realize what the party has to offer,” he said. | |||
