KUCHING, Feb 24 — Puncak Borneo Member of Parliament Willie Mongin today asked for forgiveness from voters who elected him on PKR’s ticket during the last general election.

He said this was because the federal government has collapsed following the withdrawal of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) from Pakatan Harapan (PH), leaving only PKR, DAP and PKR as component parties.

“I am seeking your consent to look for the best ways for us all in the interest of the people and country,” he said in a post on his Facebook.

Willie is one of the 11 Members of Parliament leaving PKR to form an independent block in Parliament.
