The Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) supreme council members, at a meeting in Kuching, have unanimously agreed to terminate the membership of four elected representatives from the party effective today.     

They are Tasik Biru assemblyman Peter Nansian Ngusie, who is also assistant minister of industrial development, Mas Gading member of parliament Tiki Lafe, Bekenu assemblyman Rosey Yunus and Batu Danau assemblyman Paulus Palu Gumbang.      

SPDP president, William Mawan Ikom, said the decision to terminate the party membership of the four elected representatives was made to avoid confusion among grassroots party members and the people on their position in BN.     

"I wish them the best and with the termination of their membership, they are no longer SPDP members," he told reporters here.     

On their position in the Sarawak BN Club, Mawan said anyone could form or be a member of the club, including the BN clubs overseas.       

Mawan said that with the problem on the four elected representatives been solved, SPDP would now focus on its preparations for the general election and the party triennial general assembly to be held on March 17 in Bintulu.     

The four elected representatives quit the party last week following disagreement with the party president.
