KUCHING: Julau MP Larry Sng has confirmed that he will be stepping down as Sarawak PKR chairman.
He said it was in the best interest of the party to be led by a Dayak leader going into the 12th Sarawak state election.
“Yes, I will step down as PKR chairman,” he told FMT.
Earlier, in a Facebook post, Sng wrote that Dayaks are the majority in Sarawak yet their areas are the poorest and most under-developed.
“I believe that by making this change within the party leadership, it would augur well and lend the party more credibility in its fight against economic inequalities in the private sector, inequalities in selection and promotion in the public service and our resolve in addressing native customary land issues.”
