Billy Abit Jol is the sole Barisan Nasional MP to have signed the petition urging the prime minister to prioritise the debate on the Internal Security Act when Parliament reconvenes on Wednesday.
The petition signed by 85 MPs - 81 from Pakatan Rakyat, three independents and one from BN - was delivered to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s office yesterday morning.
Billy Abit (right) is a five-term MP for Hulu Rajang and vice-president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak. His signing of the petition was revealed by Ipoh Timor MP and DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang when the latter officiated the DAP Jalong branch this morning.
Contacted later, Lim said that Billy Abit’s identity was not revealed before the submission out of “courtesy” to the prime minister.
“I would like to praise Billy Abit for his principles and courageous stand in putting national interest ahead of party interest,” said Lim - malaysiakini.com
Coincidentally, PRS today released a 'warning' to UMNO/BN. Mere coincidence? (Read that Malaysiakini report here)
