BN's Baram MP Anyi Ngau today claimed that he is still with BN and the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) and has not applied to join any other political party.

 

Anyi, a first-time MP, was present with a host of other Sarawak state and federal lawmakers who announced in a press conference in May that they were joining the newly formed party called Teras.

 

Former SPDP president William Mawan ( right ) was among those who announced his intention to join Teras.

 

"I support the stand of the new acting president of the SPDP (Tiong King Sing), and we are moving together as a BN team," Anyi clarified in a press conference at the Parliament lobby.

 

However, Anyi was unable to answer when probed about his presence at the press conference where William and other lawmakers announced that they were joining Teras.

 

"Yes, I happen to be there, but let's leave it at that, shall we?" he said, when pointed out that rumours about him quitting SPDP came about due to his presence at the press conference.

 

"You have to excuse me, I am new to politics," he added. 

 

He said even at the time when the press conference took place, he had "no intention" of leaving SPDP or BN.
