Karim tells Tian Chua to settle fist- and chair- fighters issue in PKR before poking his nose into State BN's affairs

"Like the Malay saying ‘jaga tepi kain sendiri’ which roughly means look after your own house and problems. That is what I want to say to Tian Chua." Tuan Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah 

SIBU: State BN secretary-general Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi yesterday refuted Batu MP Tian Chua’s claim that the poser over Teras is a sign of BN breaking apart, saying the issue would be resolved amicably.

Dr Rundi, who is Assistant Minister of Public Utilities (Electricity and Telecommunications), expressed confidence that Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem would work out the solution, the BN Sarawak’s way.

He was reacting to Tian Chua’s claim that the tussle between the ‘merger of minds’ group comprising BN component parties PRS, SUPP and SPDP and BN-friendly Teras was the first sign that BN was disintegrating and losing its direction.


Dr Rundi said: “Of course not, and we will make sure it will be resolved amicably and we trust and are confident that CM will come out with the solution when the time comes, of course BN Sarawak way.”

According to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the federal BN had given Adenan the mandate to settle the dispute over the seats allocated to SUPP, SPDP and PRS claimed by pro-BN Teras.

Meanwhile, PBB Supreme Council member Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah yesterday told PKR to put their house in order and not to meddle in others’ affair.

“Like the Malay saying ‘jaga tepi kain sendiri’ which roughly means look after your own house and problems. That is what I want to say to Tian Chua,” Abdul Karim, who is Assistant Minister of Youth Development and Asajaya assemblyman, said.
  

Taking a swipe at PKR, Abdul Karim said it (PKR) had lots of problems on transparency which led to skirmishes among its leaders and members in Klang and elsewhere because of unhappiness, non-transparency in their party leadership and administration.

“The issue of Teras formation is a minor issue which our YAB CM will know how to address.

“It is not an issue that will break up or weaken the state BN.

“As it is, assemblymen claiming they are Teras members are sitting together with the BN component leaders in the state cabinet. No issue at all.

“So to Tian Chua….as much as he is hoping to see division in BN, state BN is still intact and as strong as ever,” stressed Abdul Karim. -TheBorneoPost
