Its president Cobbold John said his expectation is based
on information provided by many former members of the defunct PBDS of their
desire to join PBDS Baru.
"According to them, more Dayaks are following
suit," he said in a statement, adding that some members of Parti Tenaga
Rakyat Sarawak (TERAS) have shown interest in PBDS Baru.
He said, many diehard supporters of the demised PBDS have
realised that PBDS Baru is their political vehicle.
He said there is a rising enthusiasm among the Dayaks to
have a party they can call their own.
"There are many supporters of PBDS Baru among the intellectuals
from various levels of professionalism," he said, adding that the party
has large base of support despite being only four years old.
However, he did not disclosed the number and stressed
that, they will crossed the bridge when the time comes.
Cobbold said PBDS Baru is open to all Dayaks, regardless
of their backgrounds.
"Yes, we welcome them in open arms. The door is always open for everybody and it is good
for partyless TERAS to join us as many of them are former members of PBDS and
some from SNAP. They are all welcomed," he said.
"I was informed there are about 8000 former TERAS
members in the central region. BN is not the right platform for them as BN
leadership has rejected them while PH does not give priority to the Dayak
Agenda," he said, adding these former TERAS members want a party that fits
their political struggle, which PBDS Baru can provide.
Cobbold said the party also expanded their wings to the
rural and Dayak majority seats and part of the strategies is also working very
hard in the grassroots level as the support is
