DAP offer politically motivated invitation to Lajim

DAP Tanjung Aru chief Datuk David Chong Ket Sui has extended an invitation to Beaufort MP Datuk Lajim Ukin to join him in DAP or other Pakatan Rakyat components.

"I sincerely invite Lajim to join DAP. Our door is open for him or he can also join other Pakatan Rakyat parties, especially Parti Keadilan Rakyat, and join hands with his brother in Beaufort," he said.

Perhaps Lajim could set up the DAP Beaufort division to continue his struggle for the people there, said Chong commenting on a report that Lajim had announced his resignation as the chief for the Kerambai Kebatu Umno branch during his 57th birthday celebration at his residence in Beaufort during the weekend.

It was also reported that Lajim who is also Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister had recently announced that he would not be defending the Umno Beaufort chief post and, instead, hand it over to his deputy Isnin Aliasnih.

"Since he has announced that he has resigned from his party post at the divisional level then I invite him to join us in DAP," said Chong in his maiden statement after joining DAP last month.

"He is making a very wise decision since support for the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Umno is waning," he said.

Chong claimed that 15 strong Umno leaders from Sabah have had their names dropped from the potential candidate list for the coming 13th General Election.

"They include Lajim. But this is not a surprise because even in the last General Election in 2008 his name was also not in the list.

However, his name was reinstated after he met with Datuk Najib Tun Razak who was then the Deputy Prime Minister
.
"I know because I was with him at that time," said Chong who is also a former Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Supreme Council member.

Chong said there would be more chance for Lajim to fight for development for his people through Pakatan or DAP. 

"In fact, once Pakatan forms the government there is no need to fight because many development programmes have already been lined up for Sabah unlike now where you fight but in the end, nothing," he said. 

"In conjunction with his 57th birthday, I wish him and his family as well as his staunch supporters in Beaufort good health," said Chong.
