KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) has accepted the application of Puncak Borneo MP Datuk Willie Mongin.
This was confirmed by PBB president, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He said this in a press conference after a PBB Supreme Council meeting at its headquarters today.
Previously, Willie, who is Federal Plantation Industries and Commodities Deputy Minister revealed that he has applied to join PBB.
He had hoped PBB would give his application due consideration, adding that if chosen, he would appreciate the opportunity to carry the party’s flag and represent the people of Puncak Borneo.
He was one of 11 PKR MPs who left the party following the Sheraton Move in February 2020.
He was appointed deputy minister in the Perikatan Nasional-led (PN) government in March 2020 by former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and maintained his position when Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob took charge of the government in August 2021.
