Kota Kinabalu: A group of Umno members joined Sabah DAP recently and helped the opposition party campaign against the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Sarawak State election.
A Kudat Bajau, Orong bin Sahap, decided with his people to join Sabah DAP because they believe in the struggle for the people and the unselfish nature of the DAP.
He hoped he can contribute together with the Sabah DAP leaders and become a member who can perform positively towards the wellbeing of the people, especially in the Kudat area.
He said he had lost confidence in Umno as it was not really helping Sabahans as a whole, in particular the very poor people.
On receiving his membership forms, Sabah DAP advisor Dr Hiew King Cheu, who is also Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament, welcomed him and hoped more people like Orong who can stand up to fight injustice, corruption and abuse of power will join Sabah DAP or Pakatan Rakyat.
Also present during the ceremony are Kudat DAP chief Alex Wong, Wanita chief Shirley Ipon, and other members.
