Sarawak abandons Barisan Nasional ship


PETALING JAYA: All four Sarawak Barisan Nasional component parties have abandoned ship, leaving the coalition in tatters and further strengthening Pakatan Harapan’s position in Parliament.

The decision by PBB, SUPP, PRS and PDP to leave the coalition following Barisan’s defeat in the May 9 polls means that Barisan is now left with 57 seats in the 222-member Dewan Rakyat, compared with 116 seats held by Pakatan MPs.
