DAP national Secretary General Lim Guan Eng today announced that the recent spat between the party and PKR in Sarawak has been resolved.

NONELim, who is Penang chief minister, said details of the matter would be worked out soon.

He added that the outcome of the resolution will be announced by top Pakatan leaders as soon as possible.

"Every delay will cost us a seat... it is time to work as one," he told reporters after attending a Japanese donation drive in Straits Quay, Penang.

"The odds are against us... We need to concentrate our resources together to deny BN the two-thirds majority,'he added.

Lim said DAP leaders in Sarawak had said all they had to say. "They have nothing more to add."

'I have spoken to them and they have agreed not to say anything for now," he said, adding that further details of the about the allocation of seats would be announced soon.

It had earlier been reported that DAP and PKR were at loggerheads over insistence by the latter that DAP only contest 13 of the total 71 state seats in Sarawak.

DAP had wanted 16 seats.

Of the 18 seats which DAP is now claiming, 14 are Chinese majority seats while the rest are mixed seats. The party contested in 12 seats during the 2006 general elections.

A breakdown ensued after negotiations failed to reconcile differences over the four seats of Batu Kawah, Balai Ringin, Dudong and Piasau.

With the surrender of Padungan and Senadin to PKR, it is believed that DAP now has 15 seats in its bag to contest in the state polls to be held next month.
