Larry Sng broke too many promises
SHAH ALAM - Originally known as Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) and spearheaded by Datuk Larry Sng, it was later rebranded into Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) when Datuk Seri Zuraida Kamuruddin and Penggerak Komuniti Negara members agreed to joined.
Its deputy secretary-general Zaihan Zainal revealed that strategic negotiations started on Dec 21, 2021, and soon after members joined PBM on Jan 8 this year.
He said Zuraida, however, would not join in bulk as the other as a means of “political strategy” following Sng’s promises once she officially joins the party.
He said as previously agreed, Sng will be elected as president and will choose the supreme council members and appointments of main posts.
“The president announced that the supreme council had approved Zuraida’s application to join PBM and was appointed as the party’s ‘President Designate’ until her appointment as the President was carried out through the Annual General Conference,” he said.
Zaihan, who is also the Johor state leadership council vice chairman, said Sng had gone against his own words numerous times.
Despite Sng being the founder of the party, he claimed that many leaders did not put their trust in Sng as the president from the start.
“Nevertheless, Zuraida was pleased and give way for him to be the president prior to her admission,” said Zaihan in the statement.
The PBM Muar division head further shared that on the same date of Zuraida’s official admission into PBM, the party had received an additional more than 2,000 new applications.
On Tuesday (Dec 27), PBM sacked Zuraida and 10 others after failing to respond to show cause letters issued earlier this month.
The party’s disciplinary committee said the 11, which included top leaders such as secretary-general Nor Hizwan Ahmad and Youth Chief Na’im Brundage effective immediately.
