After two weeks of agonising wait for the rival factions in crisis-ridden Sarawak National Party (Snap), the Registrar of Societies Ismail Dolah Harun will be making an official visit to Kuching on Thursday, Oct 31.

The ROS office in Putra Jaya has confirmed that Ismail will arrive in the afternoon and return to Kuala Lumpur the next day.

No reason has been given for the visit but it is believed he wants to meet leaders of the two factions personally to notify them of his decision on the fate of the party.

More than a month ago, after internal leadership squabbles led to a big split with the party effectively having two presidents, the ROS sent a show-cause letters to incumbent president James Wong Kim Min and his purported successor William Mawan as to why the party should not be de-registered.
