Move to expel SAPP

PBS president Joseph Pairin Kitingan has moved a motion for SAPP to be expelled from Barisan Nasional during the ruling coalition’s management committee meeting yesterday.The motion was seconded by VK Liew, president of another Sabah-based party LDP, according to a source from a BN component party at the meeting.

It is not known whether the party (UPKO), which is led by Minister in the PM’s Department Bernard Dompok, was invited to the meeting or whether it had chosen to stay away.

"Only the ‘three stooges’ attended - PBS, PBRS and LDP,” said the source. PBRS, or United Sabah People’s Party, is headed by Joseph Kurup.
