A PKR's National Supreme Council member Jeffrey Jomion has resigned from the party to join the Sabah chapter of the State Reform Party (STAR) on Thursday.
The Sarawak-based Star has two chapters Sarawak and Sabah. The Sabah chapter is led by Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
When asked why he left the party, the former Sabah PKR Youth chief said he could not agree with how the party was being run, especially in the way it treated its youth members.
"I have worked hard for the party but, as the PKR candidate list shows, only one person from the PKR youth chapter has been nominated."
"The party also talked about fielding 30% of new faces for GE13 but this hasn't happened," he said.
He announced his resignation from PKR and alliance with Star after the party announced its manifesto for the coming GE13.

GE13: PKR’s Jeffrey Jomion quits to join State Reform Party
About sabahdaily
PKR Tuaran division chief Ansari Abdullah who has been a loyal and dedicated party member for many years made a pre-emptive announcement of candidates of his choice earlier this month. His list was later rubbished by PKR deputy president Azmin Ali. His action shows a clear depth of distrust against PKR central leadership. People who can't be trusted to keep their words.
ReplyDeleteAnsari's name have not appeared anywhere on the list of PKR candidates that have gone around the political sphere. UPKO's turncoat Wilfred Bamburing is slated to contest the Tuaran parliamentary seat and Tamparuli state seat, leaving Ansari out in the cold.
ReplyDeleteIs Ansari being punished for his pre-empative announcement of his own candidate list? If there is anyone who should contest the Tuaran seat, it should be Ansari. Has Anwar ever been honourable with his promises ?
ReplyDeleteAnwar also promised Ibrahim Menudin to contest in Labuan and Douglas Lind in Tenom, both are ex-UMNO members who ditched the party a few months back to join PKR and are considered newcomers at the angst of long-serving party members. Both have started campaigning in the promised constituencies about two months ago based on assurances given by Anwar.
ReplyDeleteIbrahim had distributed free rice to the kampong folks in Labuan in the hope of getting their supports. He has now been moved to Bongawan to face the hyenas. Douglas, who was so sure of standing in Tenom, unfortunately, was not selected. Being newcomer the rejection may not be as painful as Ansari.
ReplyDeleteSabah PKR is in a real shambles as long-serving and loyal party members are being sidelined for newcomers to contest the elections. Can we trust a man who never kept his words to lead this country?
ReplyDeleteSeems like Sabah PKR is brewing up now.
ReplyDeleteAnsari is totally disappointed with it.
ReplyDeleteAPS and PKR are liars.
ReplyDeleteDasar penipu laitu
ReplyDeleteKasihan juga kan harap2 tu bintang tidak kasi ulun dia juga la
ReplyDeleteAda dua jepprey sudah di STAR
ReplyDeleteSabah PKR is too slow
ReplyDeleteBackstabbers.
ReplyDeleteMemang tidak boleh dipercayai baini PKR.
ReplyDeleteAzmin Ali ndada guna tu
ReplyDeleteNampaknya PKR Sabah semakin tidak diminati oleh ahli-ahli mereka sendiri.
ReplyDeleteBaru-baru ini juga ada lebih kurang 200 orang ahli PKR dan DAP keluar mengikuti MIC.
ReplyDeletePerletakan Ansari sebagai calon PRU-13 juga dibantah oleh ramai ahli PKR Sabah.
ReplyDeletePembahagian kerusi di kalangan parti-parti bawah PKR juga menimbulkan pelbagai krisis dalaman.
ReplyDeleteSebelum ini, Anwar juga terpaksa menangguh pengumuman calon disebabkan ketegangan di kalangan ahli-ahli PKR.
ReplyDelete"The party also talked about fielding 30% of new faces for GE13 but this hasn't happened," he said.
ReplyDeleteThe more PKR leaders quit the party the merrier. Lets join hand and support STAR.
ReplyDeleteStar dan PKR akan berlawan sesama sendiri
