Accepted Answer

Over 80,000 PSB Members Expected to Join PDP En Bloc

Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) deputy president I, Johnical Rayong Ngipa, has indicated that over 80,000 party members across Sarawak are anticipated to join the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) collectively. This move is part of a planned dissolution of PSB, with the aim of integrating its membership under the PDP umbrella.
Timeline for Dissolution and En Bloc Joining

The process is targeted for completion as soon as possible, with a potential timeframe before the Chinese New Year festivities. This timeline is contingent on following the necessary procedures, including consultations with the Registrar of Societies (RoS) regarding dissolution protocols and the implications of the Anti-Hopping Law. Following these consultations, an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) will be convened by PSB to formally dissolve the party, and PDP will similarly hold an EGM to facilitate the en bloc acceptance of the PSB members.
Unconditional Terms for Joining PDP

There are no predetermined conditions or terms set for PSB members and leaders to join PDP. Rayong stated that the integration is unconditional, and the decision regarding party posts for former PSB leaders will be left to the PDP president, Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, whom they will continue to support.
Previous Discussions and Rationale for Merger

This planned integration follows earlier discussions between the parties. In August, Tiong had expressed a target for the parties to merge by the end of the year, suggesting that working together would enable them to serve the people of Sarawak more effectively, particularly with the support of the Sarawak government. Furthermore, in November, Wong Soon Koh, the PSB president, had stated that both parties are compatible for a merger due to similar political aspirations and policies.
