Baru Bian emerges triumphant and stronger

barubian.net

Whispers of a vicious sms campaign to derail Baru Bian’s re-appointment as State Liaison Chief for Sarawak in the last few days by a small group of dissenting ‘hidden hands’ have been put to rest with the top leadership in Kuala Lumpur reiterating their unequivocal support for Baru Bian and announcing his re-appointment this afternoon at party headquarters in Merchant Square, Jalan Tropicana, Selangor.

The leadership of PKR also announced that Baru Bian’s largely ceremonial Vice President’s post has been assumed by Datuk John Nuek, a retired civil servant. This will free Baru Bian to concentrate on the PKR elections machinery and lead the charge in the coming state elections

The leadership also announced the appointment of lawyer See Chee How to the PKR Supreme Council. These strategic appointments by Kuala Lumpur are a clear message that the party is now ready for the big showdown with the Barisan Nasional.

PRESS STATEMENT

I want to record my thanks to the Party’s leadership, in particular Dato’ Seri President and Dato’ Seri Ketua Umum Anwar Ibrahim for their confidence in me by re-appointing me as the Sarawak Liaison Chief today. This is very important because what we have done in preparation for the upcoming elections must not be disrupted. Co-operation amongst Pakatan Rakyat members, NGOs, supporters and sympathisers in preparing for the coming election is unprecedented. This must gain momentum in the next three months.

With my appointment now made official I endeavour to work together with our PR colleagues, Party leaders and members, sympathisers and supporters to ensure PR achieves the historic political victory we all desire after thirty years under a rotten regime of a man and his cronies.

May God bless and bring to reality our sincere and righteous will and desire for change.

Baru Bian
