The Masing-Sng faction in crisis-ridden Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) appears to have backed off its plan to form a separate supreme council.

Presidential aspirant Dr James Masing was today quoted in a local English daily The Borneo Post as saying that forming a separate supreme council (SC) and holding a separate triennial delegates conference (TDC) were "options that have not yet been considered".
