SABAH BN DISMISSES RUMOURS OF DEFECTION

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 5 (Bernama) -- Leaders of several Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties in Sabah have expressed disgust at the ongoing rumours of Sabah BN parties defecting to Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

They were even surprised by rumours today that seven BN component parties were purportedly holding a news conference this evening to announce their defection, the rumours augmented by a Short Messaging Service (SMS) text circulated by unknown persons in the name of the Malaysian National News Agency, Bernama, on the non-existent news conference.

The rumours came in the wake of statements by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor and parliamentary opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that the PR would form the federal government by Sept 16 following the defection of BN MPs. -- BERNAMA
