KUCHING: Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum, the PRS information chief, has refused to accept his appointment in the new Federal Cabinet as Tourism and Culture Deputy Minister.
PRS president Tan Sri Dr James Masing had tried to persuade Salang to accept the post after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the line- up at about 5pm yesterday but it was in vain.
