All other BN parties pledge support for PM

KUALA LUMPUR: All Barisan Nasional component parties except for SAPP, pledged support to the continued leadership of Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as Prime Minister.
They condemned SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee's comments that he and the two SAPP MPs had lost confidence in Abdullah, saying that the move was unethical, without principles and went against the spirit of the coalition.
Barisan however said any action against SAPP would be decided only after its (SAPP) supreme council meeting so as to determine whether Yong's stance was his personal view or that of the party.
These decisions were made at the Barisan Nasional emergency supreme council meeting Thursday.
SAPP was not present at the meeting because the party was not invited to it.
Barisan Nasional component parties also agreed that they should make sure all their MPs attend the parliamentary sittings and reject any vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister.
Abdullah said that Yong was greedy because in the recent general election he wanted to contest seats that had already been allocated to other component parties.
He said Yong was swayed by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's promises of a higher post.
Abdullah said the controversial announcement by Yong did not bother him because as a politician he (Abdullah) had already been through a lot and as Prime Minister he had a lot of work to do.

tunku : as usual 'semua sokong'.every single person stand by the prime minister.that is a world record.after losing so much they are still backing the prime minister.i think this only happen in malaysia.najib is 'smart', on holidays.i wonder who instigate or supported (behind the scene) yong teck lee (sapp)to call for the motion?

Yong: SAPP will respond on Friday
KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Yong Teck Lee said his party will respond in full on Friday to the so-called decision of the Barisan Nasional emergency supreme council meeting in Putrajaya.
“Was the Barisan meeting held to take action against or expel SAPP from Barisan?
“What does Barisan headquarters consider to be the status of SAPP (for it) to be excluded from the meeting?” he said in an SMS when asked for the party’s reaction to the Barisan supreme council's decision.
SAPP, which was not notified of the emergency meeting, will hold its own supreme council meeting on Friday.

tunku : i wonder why sapp was not invited? well we wait for sapp's reaction on this matter and let see whether yong teck lee has spoken on behalf of his party or for himself as accused by pak lah.
