PETALING JAYA: A proposed merger between the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) and Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) could lead to squabbles within the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in future elections, according to a GPS leader who declined to be named.

PDP, led by Tiong King Sing, is a member of GPS while PSB, led by Wong Soon Koh, is an opposition party which has a confidence and supply arrangement to support GPS.While the decision of the two parties to merge strictly had nothing to do with GPS, “the concern is that it will lead to issues down the road, especially where seats are concerned”, FMT was told. “That is why the merger should be discussed by GPS and endorsed by all its component parties,” said a source.
