SIBU: Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) said it is not ruling out joining any coalition that forms the next federal government.
Provided that coalition can fulfil conditions presented by the party which is to restore Sarawak’s rights and what belongs to Sarawak, said its president Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh.
“At the national level, there are three camps namely Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH), and Perikatan Nasional (PN). Whoever forms the government, we, a small party will of course present our case.
“If they fulfil our conditions, we may consider joining them, the paramount importance being Sarawak’s rights and Sarawak’s interests,” he said in his daily press conference on Today (Nov 17).
Wong said that no one single component can form the government hence small parties like PSB can play a crucial role.
The Bawang Assan assemblyman stressed that the PSB stand is different from the DAP Sarawak which will join PH without any condition as the party is already part of PH.
ong also revealed that Parti Warisan president Datuk Seri Panglima Mohd Shafie Apdal contacted him a week ago about concentrating on winning seats so they could come together to join the coalition that forms the next federal government.
“He told me like that, in other words, we have options,” said Wong who is standing in Sibu this election.
Wong is up against Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) candidate Clarence Ting Ing Horh and incumbent from DAP Oscar Ling.
