KOTA KINABALU, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) Parliamentary Backbenchers Club chairman Datuk Anifah Aman has denied widespread speculation that some BN Members of Parliment (MPs) from Sabah would defect to the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) starting from tomorrow.
"There is no such thing...no Sabah BN MPs have indicated their intention to defect," he told Bernama here today.
Anifah, who is Kimanis MP, was asked to comment on the rumours circulating around the country through the Short-Message-Service (SMS) and the Internet that Sabah and Sarawak MPs would leave the BN within the next few days.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was quoted as saying recently that the Sept 16 deadline for a high number of BN MPs to defect to Pakatan Rakyat remained on target.
A defection of 30 BN MPs will allow the PR coalition to take over the federal government.

Meanwhile, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) deputy president Datuk Eric Majimbun described the sms as a mere rumour meant to arouse interest in discussions of the current political situation in the country.
But, when asked about rumours that a number of Sabah BN MPs would go on abrupt vacation this weekend overseas, the Sepanggar MP confirmed receiving a call from "someone" who arranged for the group trip.
He declined to dilvuge the details of the calls and the identity of the caller, saying that "he will not be able to make it".
"I am preoccupied with my programmes to give alms to my Muslim constituents during this Ramadan...so I need to be in my constituency," he said.
United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) Deputy president Datuk Wilfred Bumburing concurred that the SMS might be a rumour to confuse the people.
Bumburing said he would also be in Sabah during this weekend but kept mum about the overseas trip.
