KUCHING, Nov 8: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) maintains the practice of not allowing its elected representatives to hold both parliamentary and Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) seats at the same time, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg says.
Speaking to reporters after launching the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth Election Machinery at Dewan Kampung Stakan Melayu today, he said the arrangement had also been followed by his predecessors, the late Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud and the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem.
“Normally in PBB, we do not have someone holding both a DUS seat and a parliamentary seat.
“During the time of the late Tun Taib, he held both parliamentary and DUS seats. He later chose not to defend his parliamentary seat and continued serving in the DUS,” he said.
