Two Sabah assemblypersons who resigned from the DAP have joined Warisan.
They are Sri Tanjong assemblyperson Justin Wong Yung Bin (above, left) and Elopura assemblyperson Calvin Chong (above, right).
The duo submitted their party membership forms during a press conference led by Warisan president Shafie Apdal in Kota Kinabalu today.
The duo had resigned from the DAP in January.
"They conveyed to me their wishes to continue the struggle for Sabahans," Shafie told the press conference.
He added that no inducement was offered, pointing out that Warisan was not a ruling party.
Wong said he wanted to join a Sabah-based party based on feedback from his constituents. He also defended his decision to leave DAP.
"I left DAP not because of my personal interest but because of a loss of direction and infighting in the party that caused me to leave," he said.
Meanwhile, Chong also cited the same reason for leaving DAP.
He added that he remain steadfast with the opposition and that was why he was joining Warisan, another opposition party, instead of defecting to the ruling coalition.
The Sabah government comprise a coalition of coalitions, including Perikatan Nasional, BN, and PBS under the banner of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah. - Mkini
