Fung (top right), who had served in DAP Sabah since 1986, has also quit the party.
“It is a painful decision to leave the party,” he said yesterday, adding that his resignation would take immediate effect starting yesterday (December 31).
Reportedly, 20 Wanita members of P.172 Kota Kinabalu division headed by Candy Wong Sui Kyun have also resigned from their positions and quit DAP Sabah en masse.
Fung said his decision to quit DAP Sabah was because he could not work with some ungrateful leaders in the party. After the 13th general election (GE13), Fung said a series of events had occurred which rendered it impossible for him to work with the party leaders.
Fung stood as Api-Api and Luyang candidate in the 2004 and 2008 general elections respectively and had led DAP Sabah as state deputy chairman since 2009.
When asked what his plans were for the immediate future, Fung said he would take a temporary break for now.
Fung was the second Sabah DAP leader to quit the party this year after Luyang assemblyman Hiew King Cheu.
Hiew resigned earlier as the state adviser after four of his colleagues called for disciplinary action to be taken against him for supporting Klias assemblyman Datuk Lajim Ukin as state opposition leader. The party’s choice had been Tamparuli assemblyman Datuk Wilfred Bumburing.
Hiew is now an independent assemblyman.
