PAKAR Faction Elects Own Office Bearers
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The other faction of the feuding Parti Kesedaran Rakyat Brunei (PAKAR) held their meeting yesterday at the Royal Brunei Golf Club in Berakas, which they claimed was done to fulfill the requirement of the Registrar of Societies (ROS).

ROS had earlier sent a notification for both factions to hold a unified meeting in their search for a solution to prevent the party from breaking up.

Last Tuesday afternoon, the faction loyal to the party president held their meeting at the Riverview Hotel in Gadong where they elected new committee members.

Yesterday's meeting, which was organised by the faction loyal to the secretary-general, also elected another set of committee members to lead the party for a five-year term.

Both factions will now submit the minutes of their meetings to the ROS which they hope will determine which faction has the right to lead the political party.

ROS meanwhile had earlier told the Bulletin that it will not interfere in the party's internal feud.

Before the election was carried out, present party members unanimously voted to suspend some parts of the party constitution to allow for the appointment to take place.

Dr Hj Jumat Hj Idiris was elected as the president and Hj Osman Hj Omar, the deputy president.

Four members, Hj Sanip Alias, Pg Hj Razali Pg Hj Md Said, Ramli Hj Serudin and Pg Jeludin, were elected as the new vice presidents.
