PBS Condemns Pakatan Rakyat's "Evil Plan"

KUDAT, Sept 6 (Bernama) -- Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has condemned Rakyat Rakyat's plan which its deputy president, Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili, describes as "evil" to overthrow the Barisan Nasional (BN) government through undemocratic means.

Ongkili said enticing elected BN representatives to cross over so that Pakatan Rakyat would seize power was shameful, unethical and downright dangerous because it would create political chaos and economic strife in the country.

The people should reject this dirty politics propagated by the opposition and erase the notion that elected politicians in Malaysia can be bought and sold for a pot of political porage, he said at the opening of the annual general meetings of PBS Banggi and Tanjung Kapor divisions here.

Ongkili who is Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, said the strong mandate given to the BN by the people in the last general election must be respected and honoured by all.

"Why is Pakatan so insistent in promoting the formation of a government of unprincipled politicians? Do we want this country to be governed by frog legislators who will surely mortgage the rights of people?" he asked.

He also urged the government to take stern action against irresponsible leaders who created fear and public disorder by spreading lies.

"The Sedition Act should be used against such culprits," he added.
