Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) rival president Dr James Masing today dismissed former party president Leo Moggie's claim that he was a paranoid who had wanted to be party president at all costs right from the beginning.

Masing made it clear at a press conference this morning that it was not his intention in the beginning to go for the No 1 post in the party even after Moggie had indicated he would be stepping down as president.
