Negri PBM quits party, claims Sng abused power

SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) liaison committee has unanimously agreed to resign, citing a loss in the leadership of party president Datuk Larry Sng.

Former state chairman Rosman Jonet said all eight divisions in Negri Sembilan had also been dissolved following a meeting of state leaders on Friday (Jan 20).

"The decision was a consensus and it took effect immediately.

"This also means that the youth and women's wings have also been disbanded," he said in a statement.

Rosman claimed that Sng's decision to sack Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin and several others without discussing this first with the party's supreme council was tantamount to power abuse.

"It is an arrogant, uncivilised and irrational move which also goes to show that he has failed to manage the party well," he said, adding that Sng's regular use of social media to raise internal party issues had also affected the party's image.

Rosman claimed that Sng has also reneged on a promise to hand over the party presidency to Zuraida despite the matter being endorsed in the party's annual convention held on Oct 1, 2022.

On Oct 28 last year, Sng announced the suspension of Zuraida and 12 supreme council members for allegedly undermining the interests of the party and its leadership.

On Dec 27, 11 including Zuraida were sacked after failing to respond to show cause letters for alleged indiscipline.
