Taib hits the roof at ‘daring’ reporter

Joseph Tawie | December 21, 2011

It appears the chief minister is not entirely unaffected by the allegations of corruption against him.

KUCHING: Is Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, whose US$1.46 billion wealth made global media headlines, beginning to feel the heat at home?
Already stacked against him are a series of local and international reports of alleged corruption and abuse of power.
Topping the list is the most recent and globally published report submitted by a group of international and Malaysian non-governmental organisations on the alleged corruption committed by him.
The allegations, it appears, are affecting him after all if his violent reaction to a reporter’s question last weekend was any indication.
Taib was officiating at a function at the Kuching Waterfront last Saturday when a reporter asked for his comment regarding the report submitted by the group of international NGOs.
Turning on the reporter, an angry Taib demanded to know the identity of the reporter who had “dared” to ask him that question.
“Who is the reporter (who dared to ask)?” Taib was overheard asking while his bodyguards identified the reporter and allegedly pushed the newsman.
Luckily for him the other journalists quickly rushed to help him.
Reporters barred
When they saw Taib was so angry, the reporters left and boycotted the function.
“It is obvious that the chief minister is haunted by allegations of alleged corruption against him,” said a senior reporter.
Last Thursday, Taib refused to see pressmen after his weekly Cabinet meeting.
For the past 30 years, it had been a traditional practice for Taib or other Cabinet ministers to meet and brief the press of government projects or programmes.
But this time, Taib not only refused to see the reporters but also barred them from entering the Wisma Baba Malaysia building that houses the ministerial complex.

Chin: Respect majority’s decision

Joseph Tawie | December 14, 2011

The mood within Sarawak United Peoples' Party is far from reconciliatory as a defiant former deputy secreatry general Wong Soon Koh choses to wait for ROS decision.

KUCHING: Newly elected Sarawak United People’s Party president Peter Chin has advised Wong Soon Koh, the party’s former deputy secretary general and his team, to respect the decision of the majority.
“We think we are in the majority because of the attendances. So if you are in the minority, you have to accept the majority decision, and that is basic,” said Chin, who is the Energy, Green Technology and Water minister.

YB Dato Sri Manyin applauds Riot’s election as SUPP deputy chief

Borneo Post December 13, 2011, Tuesday

SERIAN: PBB vice president Dato Sri Michael Manyin yesterday congratulated Serian MP Datuk Richard Riot for being elected as deputy president of fellow BN component party SUPP.
Manyin, who is assemblyman for Tebedu, which is one of two seats under Serian, said it was a great achievement considering that a fellow Bidayuh had been elected as the number two in a Chinese-based party.
“Congratulations. Good. This is good news for the Bidayuh community. That’s the first time the post is being held by a non-Chinese,” he said to reporters after presentation of land titles to Salcra participants at Kampung Bunan Gega.
On Sunday, Riot, who is also Deputy Foreign Minister and five-term Serian MP, made history after the SUPP’s central committee (CC) delegates elected him as the first non-Chinese deputy president of the party.
Riot has been a member of SUPP since May 1, 1993, having joined the party three years after he won Serian on an Independent ticket.
“Even though SUPP is a Chinese-based party, the Dayaks will be looked after, not that we were not looked after, but we are now looked upon as equal partners in SUPP.”
Manyin, who is also Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communications, and Riot are both from Kampung Pichin, near Serian.

Ibupejabat SUPP terbakar atau dibakar?

KUCHING: A fire at the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) headquarters early this morning caused extensive damage to the party’s meeting room, which is located at the back of the building.
Eyewitnesses called the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) at 3.51am after seeing smoke and firefighters managed to put out the fire by 5.10am.
As of 12pm, Bomba had yet to establish the cause of the fire.
New SUPP secretary-general Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian was among the first to arrive at the scene.
When contacted, former secretary-general Datuk Sim Kheng Hui told reporters he believed the fire was not accidental, but would leave it to the police to investigate.
Newly-elected SUPP president Datuk Seri Peter Chin is expected to visit the headquarters around 6pm today to inspect the extent of the damage.
SUPP held its Triennial Delegates Conference (TDC) over the weekend.
A faction led by Wong had boycotted the TDC citing irregularities and procedural impropriety at branch-level elections.
The Registrar of Societies (ROS) is investigating.

Wong disappointed Riot breaks promise

Borneo Post December 10, 2011, Saturday

KUCHING: SUPP deputy secretary-general Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh is disappointed that assistant secretary-general Datuk Richard Riot has failed to keep his promise to not participate in the party’s Triennial Delegates Conference (TDC).
The Second Finance Minister stressed that Riot had spoken to him on the phone that he would boycott the conference.
However, Riot, who is Deputy Foreign Minister, was present at the central committee (CC) conference held at the SUPP headquarters here yesterday.
“When Datuk Richard Riot spoke with Dr Jerip Susil at 1.20pm on Dec 8 he said he supported our stand not to participate in the TDC and to not accept any party posts even if offered.
“Later, at 1.26pm, I personally spoke with Datuk Richard Riot who confirmed what he told Dr Jerip,” Wong told a news conference here yesterday.
On Thursday, Riot’s name was included in a press statement announcing that Wong and his camp would not participate in the party’s TDC.

Gentleman and honourable are BN Leadership hallmarks

Najib mahu calon-calon SUPP berdamai selepas bertanding

10/12/2011 9:58pm

KUCHING 10 Dis. – Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak mahu calon Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) yang bertanding dalam pemilihan parti itu supaya mengamalkan sikap suka berdamai, berhati mulia dan inklusif dalam tindakan mereka sebaik ia berakhir.
Semasa memberikan nasihat itu, Perdana Menteri yang juga Pengerusi Barisan Nasional (BN) berkata, mereka mesti merapatkan semula barisan bagi mendapatkan semula keyakinan rakyat kerana pertukaran pucuk pimpinan tidak dapat dielakkan dari semasa ke semasa dalam mana-mana parti.
"Mereka yang menang bukan menang kesemuanya dan mereka yang kalah bukan hilang semuanya kerana musuh mereka adalah pembangkang dan bukan anggota dan rakan dalam SUPP,” katanya semasa merasmikan Persidangan Perwakilan Tiga Tahun Sekali SUPP yang ke-22 di sini.
Setiausaha Penyelaras parti, Datuk Seri Peter Chin, yang pada awalnya dicalonkan bertanding menentang Timbalan Setiausaha Agung, Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh bagi jawatan Presiden, dijangka menang tanpa bertanding apabila pencalonan ditutup tengah hari ini.
Soon Koh tidak hadir pada persidangan. – Bernama

Challenge Peter Chin for self-praise? RH funded Wong Soon Koh ask Peter Chin to 'utter words' to Prime Minister

War of words between SUPP presidential hopefuls escalates

Monday, 05 December 2011 Sarawak tribune

SIBU:
Meanwhile, at a press conference here yesterday, Wong said he had the best working relationship with the state Barisan Nasional leadership under Chief Minister Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud.

“All these years, whatever problems, particularly those faced by the urban communities, had been brought to the attention of the state government.

“I have been able to obtain state land with Taib’s approval for the building of Chinese and mission schools, churches, temples, burial grounds and Chinese association buildings.

“The Chief Minister has been very gracious in helping us solve even bread-and-butter issues,” he added.

He challenged Chin to ask Taib if he (Wong) had indeed, done this and how often.

Wong Soon Koh alleges Federal Minister Peter Chin of being anti-BN

SIBU: SUPP presidential aspirant Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh said he is concerned with the anti-Barisan Nasional (BN) attitude displayed by the Chin-Teng camp.
Speaking at a press conference here yesterday, he said party treasurer Datuk David Teng had admitted to uttering “SUPP has been cornered and bullied” by other BN component parties.
Wong, who is SUPP deputy secretary-general, charged that the Chin-Teng camp had, in their ceramahs, said “SUPP has been stripped of its pants” in Mandarin – meaning the party had been stripped completely bare and humiliated.
He added that the camp claimed it was now time to take a 180-degree retaliating turn in their presidentia l election campaign.
Wong, who is also Second Finance Minister and Minister of Local Government and Community Development, said he hoped the Chin-Teng camp was not stirring anti-BN sentiments among their supporters.
Wong is in a tussle with organising secretary Datuk Seri Peter Chin, who is also Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, for the party’s presidency during the party’s triennial delegates’ conference (TDC), which is slated to be held in Kuching from Dec 9-11.
Party president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan is stepping down following his loss in Piasau during the 10th state election last April.
SUPP fielded 19 candidates in the April 16 polls, but only six managed to scrap through. Wong also posed a few questions for the Chin-Teng camp to enlighten the party on their future plans.
“If the camp puts SUPP in such a resentful state within the BN, why a reorganising secretary Peter Chin and current president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan inviting the chief minister and the prime minister to launch SUPP TGM this month?”
Wong said the situation had left him with numerous doubts, and he challenged the two leaders to answer.

Wong further asked: “Has Peter Chin been bullied and ill-treated at the federal level? If so, why has he remained silent and has never uttered a word to the prime minister?”

Persatuan-persatuan mula digerakkan untuk agenda politik Rimbunan Hijau

Sekarang pemilihan presiden SUPP semakin hangat.  Sir Tiong Hiew King ‘Ayu’ lazimnya berada di luar Negara (Papua New Guinea, China, New Zealand dan Australia) 80% dalam setahun.  Tidak pernah ‘Ayu’ berada di Sarawak lebih dari 2 minggu.  Tetapi sejak Yang Berhormat Dato Sri Peter Chin mengumumkan tidak akan membiarkan Wong Soon Koh/Tiong Thai King/Hii King Chiong mengambil alih SUPP , Ayu tidak keluar Negara.

Ayu telah menabalkan dirinya sebagai PERMANENT chairman Sarawak foochow association.  Sebelum ayu tiada jawatan yang ‘permanent’ dalam Sarawak foochow association.  Apabila foochow association menjemputnya masuk persatuan mereka Ayu hanya ‘sudi’ masuk persatuan jika dia ditabalkan sebagai ‘permanent’ chairman yang tidak boleh dipertandingkan (seperti jawatan penasihat/dictator anwar Ibrahim dalam pkr).  Sekarang ayu mengadakan banyak ‘perjumpaan’ dengan persatuan-persatuan cina untuk ‘meyakinkan’ mereka untuk mengalahkan YB Dato Sri Peter Chin.  YB Dato Sri Peter Chin adalah penghalang Rimbunan Hijau untuk mengambil kuasa politik kaum cina secara ‘direct’.
