Former DAP leader Ronnie Liu has officially joined Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), a multiracial political party based in Sarawak, after three years of leaving the Democratic Action Party, according to local media reports (nst.com.my). The move marks a significant shift in Liu's political alignment, as he transitions from DAP to a party that emphasizes cross-ethnic cooperation.
Liu, who previously held a prominent role within DAP, has not provided detailed reasons for his decision, though some analysts suggest it may be related to broader political strategies or personal ambitions. His joining PBM comes amid ongoing political realignments in Malaysian politics, where cross-party movements are becoming more common.
The transition is also seen as a reflection of the evolving political landscape in Sarawak, where PBM has been gaining traction by promoting unity among different ethnic groups. Liu’s involvement could potentially influence the party’s future direction and its approach to regional governance.
This development highlights the fluid nature of political affiliations in Malaysia, where leaders often shift between parties based on strategic or ideological considerations. (nst.com.my)
