KUCHING: Leaders from PBB and SUPP have thrown the gauntlet to state PKR chief Baru Bian to reveal the names of BN elected representatives whom he claimed were keen to join Pakatan Rakyat (Pakatan) in the coming general election.
PBB Supreme Council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said he believed Baru was ‘day dreaming’ for making the claim while state BN Youth chairman Datuk Fadillah Yusof and SUPP Youth chief Tan Kai challenged Baru to show proof as Pakatan possessed a credibility problem.
“I cannot answer for the elected representatives from BN Sabah, but if Baru Bian and Pakatan think that there are elected representatives from BN Sarawak who want to join the opposition in the coming election or contest under Pakatan ticket, he is only day dreaming,” said Abdul Karim when contacted yesterday.
On Tuesday, Baru, who is also Ba’Kelalan assemblyman, claimed that some BN elected representatives from Sabah and Sarawak were keen to jump ship as they were not happy with some BN policies.
Abdul Karim, who is also Assistant Minister of Youth Development, likened Pakatan to a half-sinking ship without a true captain because all its partners – PKR, DAP and PAS – had their own agenda.
“Does Baru Bian think that elected representatives from BN are so stupid as to want to board such a ship?” asked Abdul Karim, who is also Asajaya assemblyman.
He advised Baru not to be “so arrogant”, and to stop thinking that BN elected representatives were “cheap”.
“There is no guarantee that he (Baru Bian) himself will win in the coming general election. So, continue to day dream.”
Fadillah said Baru needed to show proof because his claim sounded like an old record.
“Baru must prove his claim considering that the opposition had previously made a similar statement that they would take over the federal government which never happened.”
Tan, who echoed Fadillah’s sentiments, urged Baru, who is also a lawyer, to stop making claims without evidence.
