KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Balai Ringin Division will seek approval from the party headquarters on former Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak vice-chairman Leon Jimat Donald’s application to join PBB.
PBB Balai Ringin Division chief Petrus Igat Mathias confirmed that Leon had expressed his interest in joining the party through the PBB Pantu branch.
“In Mr. Leon’s case, we still need approval from our PBB HQ. We have no objection as long as the principles of loyalty, honesty, and teamwork are upheld,” Petrus told the Sarawak Tribune.
Petrus said that PBB is open to those who believe in the party’s mission.
“PBB is a disciplined and dynamic party, dedicated to the people. We welcome new members, especially youth and professionals, as long as they adhere to the core values that make the party strong,” he said.
“Integrity, loyalty, sincerity, and teamwork are fundamental.”
Any new member, including Leon, must recognise that adhering to these principles strengthens PBB.
Petrus also clarified that membership applications follow the party’s standard procedures as set by its Constitution.
“The branch must recommend, and our branch Exco will endorse,” he added.
Leon, who left DAP Sarawak in January 2022, submitted his PBB membership application on October 15.
