KUCHING: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) plans to set up six more divisions in Sarawak soon to double the number to 12, Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said here today.
“We do not want to rush into setting up divisions in all the 31 parliamentary constituencies in Sarawak because Bersatu is still a new party.
“I have asked the Sarawak Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Chong Chieng Jen to discuss the allocation of the seats at the national level with the other PH component parties,” the home minister told a press conference after visiting the police housing complex at the Sarawak Contingent Police headquarters in Jalan Badruddin, here.
Asked about the seats to be contested in the 12th Sarawak election, which is expected to be held in early 2021, Muhyiddin said the matter was still under discussion.
The six existing Bersatu divisions in the state, approved by the Registrar of Societies, are Santubong, Stampin, Sri Aman, Saratok, Kota Samarahan and Bintulu. - Bernama
