State DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen said the party could no longer work with PAS as long as the push for hudud laws remained in the Islamist party's political agenda.
"As such, with PAS being a component party in Sarawak Pakatan, we have resolved and made the painful decision to leave the state Pakatan," he told reporters after chairing a state committee meeting here on Friday.
Chong said the decision was made unanimously by the committee and would take effect immediately.
He added that the state committee had the autonomy to make such a decision.
"The national leadership has been informed and they respect our decision," Chong said.
Sarawak DAP also urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak not to delay in making his stand and Umno's over the implementation of hudud in Malaysia.
