2,000 quit? It’s more like 30, Sng says of PBM defections
The Parti Bangsa Malaysia president rubbishes claims of 'exodus' to Wawasan by youth wing members.
Parti Bangsa Malaysia president Larry Sng dismissed claims that over 2,000 members of the party's youth wing had defected to Wawasan. In reality, only around 30 members left, Sng said in a Facebook post. The apparent discrepancy stems from PBM Youth chief Hanis Asmui's announcement to dissolve the party's Youth wings at all levels.
Hanis also resigned as PBM Youth chief, Johor deputy chairman, and Muar division chief. He attributed the defections to growing disillusionment with the party's leadership, claiming it had eroded members' confidence. Hanis cited senior party leaders' insipid and confusing statements on religious and racial issues as a key factor.
He argued that the existing leadership no longer represented grassroots members' aspirations and failed to commit to the necessary reforms. Hanis believed Wawasan offered a broader agenda for political stability and could unite Malay parties like PAS and Umno, bridging racial divides in Malaysia.
