THIRTEEN of 27 village heads in Labuan representing parties in Pakatan Harapan (PH) today resigned with immediate effect and joined Bersatu.

Of the 13 village heads, five were from Amanah, PKR (5) and Warisan (3).

Their resignations follow the fall of the PH government on February 24 after Dr Mahathir Mohamad resigned as prime minister, resulting in the transfer of power from PH to Perikatan Nasional, which is expected to form the cabinet next Tuesday.

Those who resigned were the village heads of Kg Bukit Kalam, Kg Bebuloh, Sg Lada, Sg Miri, Sg Labu, Lajau, Kg Sg Bangat, Patau-Patau 2, Pohon Batu, Bukit Kuda, Sg Buton, Sg Bedaun and Lubok Temiang.

Labuan Bersatu chief Suhaili Abd Rahman said their resignations were good decisions as all the three parties they had represented were now in the opposition block.

“It was like during the transfer of power from Barisan Nasional (BN) to PH after the 14th general election, when all the village heads were asked to step down. But today, they have resigned before being asked to do so,” he told a press conference today.

Suhaili said all the village heads joined Bersatu on the basis of confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Bersatu president.

“I am told there will be more following in their footsteps and joining Bersatu in the next few days.” – Bernama, March 8, 2020.
