KUCHING: The 26 Sarawak United Peoples’ Party branches, which have demanded a fresh special delegates conference (SDC) to resolve the Dudong branch issue, will not strike a peace deal with rival Sibu branch.
“Any peace formula or compromise will only be considered after the SDC,” said the group’s spokesman Wong Ching Yong.
The second meeting of the 26 branches here yesterday resolved that the SDC should be reconvened as the conference fixed for yesterday was unconstitutionally called off.
“The Central Working Committee (CWC) must meet to correct its decision on Oct 13 to cancel the SDC.
“It must acknowledge that the SDC fully complied with the party constitution,” Ching Yong told reporters after the meeting here.
The Sibu branch, headed by Datuk Wong Soon Koh, is against the April 30 election of veteran Dudong assemblyman Datuk Dr Soon Choon Teck as the new branch chairman.
Party president Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam has said the CWC cancelled the SDC on the advice of the Registrar of Societies (ROS).
Ching Yong said a committee had been set up to draft the proposed motions to be tabled at the fresh SDC, which he hoped could be held in the next two months.
The ROS gave its approval to set up the Dudong branch in 2007.
Leaders of the 26 branches later met Dr Chan to seek his explanation on his letter to the ROS, and matters related to the SDC at the SUPP headquarters here.
At the meeting, Dr Chan asked for two weeks to mediate and come up with an amicable solution on the Dudong issue.
