COMMENT | It seems that since Works Minister Baru Bian’s snubbing of the recent national PKR congress, his political star has started to dim. Things have not been as smooth for him as he would wish them to be.

Call him a victim of the bruising party elections if you wish, but it was his decision to take sides in the Mohd Azmin Ali-Rafizi Ramli tussle for the party’s deputy presidency. It was his decision and his alone; no one forced his hand.

Baru and his supporters in Sarawak PKR decided to join the Azmin camp. And they were successful in a way - Azmin won by a small margin in Sarawak.

However, the aftermath of the national PKR elections could turn out differently for Baru, the current Sarawak PKR chief.
