Karim kesal kenyataannya disalah erti Bakat Gira

July 4, 2014

KUCHING: Ada nada kesal diluahkan Ahli Majlis Tertinggi PBB Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah apabila kenyataan beliau sebelum ini disalah erti oleh Ketua Pemuda PRS Baleh Bakat Gira.

Menurut Karim, kenya-taan beliau sebelum ini tidak ada langsung menyebut tentang Parti Tenaga Rakyat Sarawak (TERAS) kerana isu itu cuma layak dibincangkan di peringkat BN Negeri dan Pusat.

Beliau juga katanya, tidak ada menyebut tentang penubuhan TERAS dan kesannya boleh memecah-belahkan masyarakat Dayak.

Malah beliau enggan diseret ke dalam isu berkaitan pe-mimpin-pemimpin Dayak.

“Jika ketua Pemuda PRS Baleh ingin mengheret saya ke dalam perbincangan perpecahan di kalangan masya-rakat Dayak susulan penubuhan TERAS, saya ingin memaklumkan ia bukan niat saya ketika memberi kenya-taan sebelum ini,” katanya menerusi satu kenyataan semalam.

Karim yang juga Menteri Muda Pembangunan Belia berkata dalam kenyataan sebelum ini beliau cuma mempersoalkan mengapa PBB tidak disertakan dalam istilah ‘gabungan minda’.

Gabungan itu cuma membabitkan PRS, SUPP dan SPDP, sedangkan PBB juga merupakan sebuah parti komponen BN.

Karim amused over comments by aspiring 'young politician' Bakat

"Does this young politician know that PBB has the most Dayak YBs and leaders?"

KUCHING: PRS Youth exco member Cr Bakat Gira has been advised to get his facts right rather than jumping into conclusion and veering into unrelated topics when making his statement.

Bakat’s comment that PRS Youth was concerned that the newly formed party Teras would further split the Dayak community and erode their support for BN in the next state election has made PBB Supreme Council member Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah rather amused.

“Though I don’t wish to have a debate over a trivial issue, I can’t help but be amused over comments made by some aspiring ‘young politicians’ who don’t seem to understand what I have queried in my earlier statement the past few days,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Abdul Karim, who is Asajaya assemblyman, pointed out that he had only queried on why PBB was not invited to the ‘merger of minds’.

“Never did I mention about Teras as I feel that the matter is best discussed and resolved within the state BN and federal family, which is totally not within my purview to question.

“I also never mentioned about Teras formation and its after-effect of splitting the Dayak community,” he reiterated.

However, Abdul Karim, who is also Assistant Minister of Housing, said he was equally as concerned as Bakat with Dayak unity.
