Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) secretary-general Stanley Ajang has assured branch chairpersons that the seven boxes containing the annual returns of their respective branches are safe while in the custody of party headquarters.

"They can rest assured that nothing will happen to their boxes which are sealed, chained, locked and placed in a strongroom," he said in a signed press statement faxed to malaysiakini late this evening.
