MIRI: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice-president Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman yesterday advised People’s Progressive Party (PPP) to concentrate on winning the seats it lost in the peninsula in 2008.

He told PPP not to contest in the state during the coming general election as it would disunite and destablise the status quo
of state BN component parties – PBB, PRS, SPDP and SUPP – as all seats had been allocated among them.

“If PPP wants to help the state BN component parties we welcome but if they want to contest it will disunite the present unity,” Daud said after breaking of fast with orphans at Peryatim Kompleks Hamidah in Tudan on Saturday night.

Present were Sibuti MP Ahmad Lai Bujang, Miri deputy resident Abdul Aziz Yusof, Miri City Council deputy mayor Mohd Chee Kadir, Temenggong Abdul Rahman Fadzil and Penghulu Adam Bujang.

“We do not want other BN component parties from peninsula to disunite the state BN,” he said further, urging PPP to concentrate in the peninsula and work closely with other BN parties there.
