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.
However, Riot had issued a separate statement, saying that he did not agree with Wong and his camp’s stand.
“We respect Datuk Richard Riot’s right to change his mind and to attend the TDC. We must, however, clarify that our press statement was issued only after consulting Datuk Richard Riot and obtaining his consent,” said Wong.

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.

A cause for concern

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’.
