Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament were offered RM50,000 `pocket money' to go on overseas trip but two MPs from Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Datuk Eric Majimbun and Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui declined to accept and did not join the trip.
SAPP President Datuk Yong Teck Lee said his two MPs prefer to continue working for the benefit of the people than leaving Sabah on an organised vocation organised by the BN leadership.
"They are more happy to get together with the rakyat, including to join them during this Holy Month of Ramadan, " the former Chief Minister said in a leaders-and-people gathering in Kampung Warisan, Inanam near Kota Kinabalu.
Yong was referring to the 49 BN MPs, 10 of them from Sabah, who left for Taiwan on Monday on a study tour of the agriculture technology in the island nation.
Meanwhile, Datuk Bung Mokthar Radin, BN MP for Kinabatangan, who is one of the organiser of the overseas trip had been quoted by local newspapers that MPs who joined the study tour look after their own expenses while abroad.
