KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Friday denied news reports in several Chinese dailies on Wednesday that its Karamunting division has been suspended.

Its Secretary-General Datuk Radin Malleh, in a statement, said the party's Supreme Council never made such a decision.

In this respect, he described the claims made by certain quarters claiming to be members of PBS Karamunting division as being "irresponsible" and warned that action can be taken against members who commit acts which are likely to be detrimental to the interest of the party.

He reminded all party members to refrain from bringing up internal party problems to the media but use proper channels within the party to find solutions.

"Party members should abide by the provision of the party constitution under Article 15(ix) whereby any press statement must have the prior approval of the President or Secretary-General," he said.

Meanwhile, Radin also appealed to the media to first verify with him or the party headquarters before running any news relating to the party.
