"Yes I did not mention about BN but I did mention about a 'united coalition of Sarawak-based parties' as our platform and I have to consult with our Sarawak-based partners.
"Leaving BN? Its up to you to interpret but I have to consult my other component parties in BN, in other words, we (PBB) will review our position after consulting with the other component parties," he said.
