Taib: I’ll meet SPDP leaders over Entri’s sacking
Posted on November 26, 2011, Saturday
KUCHING: Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who is also state Barisan Nasional chairman, says he wants to meet Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) over the sacking of Datuk Sylvester Entri from the party.
“Let things cool down first. I will meet the party leaders,” was his brief answer when asked yesterday to comment on the latest development in SPDP.
SPDP, in a supreme council meeting chaired by president Tan Sri William Mawan decided to sack Entri.
Entri, an Assistant Minister of Public Utilities (Water Supply) and Marudi assemblyman, is part of the so-called SPDP 5 group who are at loggerheads with Mawan.
The SPDP supreme council also decided not to re-nominate Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe, another member of the SPDP 5, in Mas Gading in the coming general election.
Dr Tiki and the other members of SPDP 5 namely Datuk Peter Nansian, Rosey Yunus and Paulus Palu Gumbang were also relieved of their posts in the party since they had breached the party’s constitution for failing to attend the supreme council meeting for five accumulative times in a year.
Taib had earlier presented prizes to the winners of the National Level Bintang Kecil singing contest at Auditorium P Ramlee, RTM here.
Meanwhile, at a separate function in Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, state BN secretary general Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi said Entri was still a BN member despite being sacked from SPDP.
“No, he (Entri) is not partyless. Whatever it is, we all are still the Barisan Nasional men. We will solve the problem. We will cross the bridge when the time comes,” he told reporters after the state ICT Expo opening.
Dr Rundi, the Assistant Minister of Public Utilities, said the State BN would not interfere with the decision of the component party.
“No (interference). We will allow them to take due course in response to the decision,” he said, adding he was confident SPDP would handle the internal affair well.
He said he believed that SPDP supreme council had adhered to its party’s constitution before the decision was made.
“Well, they (SPDP) have their constitution and the constitution says this and this. I think they have to respect the principal of their constitution. Any party will have some action or other to a certain extent. It is up to the president and of course the supreme council members to decide,” he said.
On the decision that Dr Tiki, the Mas Gading MP not being entrusted to retain his seat in the upcoming general election, Dr Rundi replied: “Whatever it is, they are the party on their own. They have their own requisitions to adhere to. I believe they know what to do”.
He did not see the internal affair facing by SPDP now as a crisis but just a misunderstanding within the leadership. As such, he believed that the issue would not affect the performance of State BN in the coming general election as the ruling party was still getting strong support from the ground.
Dr Rundi also dismissed the rumour that a new party had been formed to accommodate the SPDP 5, stating, “it is just a speculation”.
Public Utilities Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan who was also present to officiate at the function refused to comment on the issue.
