PBS Launches United Klang Valley Club To Attract Sabahans To Join Party

PETALING JAYA, Feb 6 (Bernama) -- Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) launched the 'United Klang Valley Club' as an approach and strategy to attract more voters from among Sabahans in the Klang Valley to join the party.

PBS president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan said the establishment of the club was expected to attract more Sabahans living in the Klang Valley to contribute their ideas to the party and to vote for Barisan Nasional in the 13th general election.

"The objective of the club is to provide an opportunity and space to Sabahans residing in the Klang Valley to participate in PBS activities and keep abreast with the party's development's.

"There are many Sabahans residing in the Klang Valley who show interest in the struggle of the government through PBS, as such the setting up of the club is one of the ways to bring club members and the party closer for mutual exchange of ideas," he told reporters after launching the club, here Monday.

Also present was PBS deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.

Pairin said such a club had been established in Johor, and PBS planned to set up the same in all states in the peninsula based on the positive reaction and requests from Sabahans.

Pairin said as a component of Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN), the establishment of the club could indirectly contribute to ensuring the well-being of the people in line with the 1Malaysia concept.

"Through the club, we can identify the needs of Sabahans and proposals to the party leadership in resolving issues.

"As of now, there are 300 club members in Johor and the Klang Valley and interested Sabahans can register for membership by downloading the application form from PBS website at www.pbs-sabah.org," he said.
