Ronnie Liu dilantik ketua penerangan PBM

Ronnie Liu dilantik ketua penerangan PBM

Yesterday, former DAP stalwart Ronnie Liu publicly joined Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM). The party announced Liu's appointment as its spokesperson just a week after he joined. Munan Laja, PBM's Secretary-General, said the party's highest council had decided to appoint the former DAP veteran to the position during a meeting today. PBM also made other appointments - William Low as deputy spokesperson, Benny Sieh as the party treasurer, and Sieh Ing Qing as deputy treasurer.

The party's President, Larry Sng, appointed Engga Unchat and Saarah Ali Bashah during a High Council meeting under the president's quota. These appointments are expected to further strengthen PBM's leadership, diversity, and commitment among all members in driving the party to greater heights. PBM believes that this reinforced leadership line-up will continue to contribute positively towards expanding the party's reach and consolidating its struggle and aspirations for the people, said Munan in a statement.

Liu, a former Sungai Pelek State Assemblyman in Selangor, announced his decision to join PBM on August 9. He said he chose to join PBM after discussions with Sng, which aligned best with his political aspirations, while their combined experiences complement each other - Sng being more knowledgeable about Borneo, while Liu is more grounded in Peninsular affairs.

Earlier, Sng had cited Liu's inclusion in PBM as part of his effort to broaden the party's leadership. However, political analysts expressed concern about PBM's largely Sarawak-based approach to expand its influence, expecting only a minor impact despite Liu leading the charge.
