Inside Story of SUPP
By insider

I am writing this from outside Sarawak as I emigrated with my family to Australia last year. I spent most of my working life in Miri and Kuching and as a businessmen, was forced to socialise with SUPP and other political leaders. I got to be quite close to them, and became one of their “supporters" who was “required to help" during elections.

I would like to appeal to all the voters, especially the Chinese voters, to vote for the opposition and not the SUPP. Let give just relate some of the home truths about SUPP:

1. SUPP under George Chan is not working for the Chinese but Taib Mahmud. Forget the words but look at the action. TM took away the Kuching Mayor’s post and gave it to a civil servant (died) without consulting SUPP. Before the announcement I was at a dinner with George Chan, Lee Kim Shim and Alan Sim and GC hinted that AS would make an excellent mayor for Kuching. AS was smiling so hard that you would have guessed that he was 100% sure that he would be the mayor. But TM simply gave it to someone else and GC could not do anything about it.

2. When the 2006 state elections came about, I was asked to “donate" to SUPP's campaign in Kuching. My Miri branch manager told me that the SUPP Miri people (Andy Chia, Datuk Wee and gang) “asked" for my company vehicles to be “loaned" them for the campaign. When the issue of land lease came up, GC told us in a dinner function that he will “speak" to CM and CM would make an announcement at a unity dinner in Kuching. I was forced to buy 3 tables at this dinner at Crowne Plaza. I was sitting a metre table away from the VIP table and I saw GC begging the CM to announce that he would renew the lease. CM just told GC, in front of everyone, I will announce in my own time. Can you image the SUPP president’s shame? In front of the Chinese community, he cannot even get the CM to make a “hint" about the land lease.

After the elections, I was having dinner with GC’s supporters in Miri and he told in a serious tone that CM refused to make the announcement because he wanted to “punish" the Chinese/SUPP for making “too much noise". This meant that TM had already destroyed Iban unity by splitting PRS/PBDS into two factions and he wanted the Chinese to be the same while he prepared his children to come in and take over. This man even hinted that TM only dared to do this because GC was the SUPP president. GC cannot stand up to TM on any issue. He just gives in on every crucial issue. Why? - I will tell you later.

3. During the 2006 state elections, one of SUPP’s biggest financial contributors, Ting Chek Si, a tycoon from Sibu, was not selected to defend his Meradong seat. His crime? TCS was in a business dispute with TM’s brother over the Sanyan group of companies. TCS has sued TM’s brother for “oppression" and revealed that he gave TM’s brother 51% of the shares in the company in return for TM’s timber concessions. TM told George Chan to dump TCS and GC, like a good running dog, did as he was told. This is despite the fact that Meradong people wanted TCS because he was using his own money to provide help to Meradong. The SUPP Central working committee even endorsed TCS’s name as candidate. What kind of party leader is George if he dumped his own men and listened to PBB's leader? Is SUPP a sub-branch of PBB?

What is worse - when TCS protested to GC, GC lied to his face straight and told him to keep quiet and TCS will be given another chance as senator. Of course GC did not keep his promise, he gave the senatorship to Sim Kheng Hui.

4. This is not the first time GC lied openly to his colleagues. In 2004 General Elections, he promised Law Heing Ding that he will be nominated as the Minister but for the last term. George even put this in writing. After the elections, George nominated Datuk Peter Chin. Is it any wonder that LHD called George Chan a liar in the Chinese press and GC did not dare to sue him? If George Chan is a man of honour as he says he is, why does he not sue LHD for defamation? LHD even went to the extent of writing a complaint letter to all the SUPP CWC members and gave a copy to the PM and TM. He has documents to prove that GC is lying and backstabbed him.

5. You do not need to look at GC’s political games to know he is a fake. Just look at the way he behaves towards his first wife, Judy. He cheated on her for so many years that she ran away. He had an open affair with Christina Foo of Priority One and gave the company a lot of state government consultancies.

During the search and rescue mission for Dr Judson in the Kelabit highlands, he visited the place often to “direct" the search. The real reason was that he was chasing a Kelabit girl and took her to KL to be his mistress. Just ask anyone in the highlands and they will confirm this story. This girl is now driving a BMW and living in a semi-D in KL.

What kind of man would use a moment of anguish over a helicopter crash to think about sex and chasing girls. Is this a “leader" of the Sarawak Chinese community?

Even worse, he allowed his daughter (the most beautiful one with white skin) to marry TM’s son. When Sulaiman turned out to be playboy and started to hit the daughter, GC actually told the daughter to “bear it" as Sulaiman could ensure that she has a luxurious life. When Sulaiman heard this, he hit the poor daughter even harder and sent her off to live in the States leaving him free to chase all sorts of girls in KL and Manila. As a father, how could GC do all these things?

The question is why? Why does GC do all these underhanded things?
The answer is simple. The love of power and wealth. He can only get power and wealth by being a running dog to TM and this is exactly what he has done. He has made SUPP weak because TM wants SUPP to be weak while the Melanau dynasty rules forever.

George Chan wants to enjoy the good things in life like fine wine (he has one of the finest wine collections in Malaysia) and women. He can only do this as deputy CM.

With a leader like George Chan, who lies to his own senior party members, and reports to PBB and TM - can we elect SUPP? If SUPP were to come out and say that it is a sub-branch of PBB, at least I will consider it as they will be telling the truth for the first time.

After all these nonsense I decided that I had better migrate. I do not want my children to deal with this sort of “leaders" and live in a country where the Chinese leaders are forever kowtowing to someone else.

I am not writing this out of spite. I encourage readers in Sarawak and elsewhere to investigate if what I say here is true. Even if 50% is true, don’t you think SUPP deserves to be punished?

The only way to get rid of George Chan and his group of PBB/SUPP members is to vote out SUPP until George Chan loses power. There is no other way. I took the easy way out by migrating but that does not mean I do not love Sarawak or care for the future of Sarawak. It simply means I am too old. I am telling this story so that the younger generation will know the truth.

NGO: Tubuh suruhanjaya diraja siasat kekayaan Taib, keluarga

NGO: Tubuh suruhanjaya diraja siasat kekayaan Taib, keluarga


Oleh Syed Mu’az Syed Putra

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 April — Tinggal tiga hari menjelang pengundian pilihan raya negeri Sarawak, gabungan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) hari ini mendesak Putrajaya menubuhkan suruhanjaya diraja bagi menyiasat aset Ketua Menteri Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud dan keluarga, dipercayai memiliki kekayaan “luar biasa.”

Pada satu sidang media di sini, gabungan 42 NGO mahu suruhanjaya diraja ditubuhkan kerana tidak mungkin Taib, seorang kakitangan kerajaan mampu memiliki aset yang begitu banyak sedangkan rakyat Sarawak miskin dan tidak dibela.

“Kami hari ini mendesak kerajaan agar dengan segera menubuhkan suruhanjaya diraja untuk menyiasat aset Taib dan keluarga kerana tidak mungkin seorang kakitangan kerajaan boleh memiliki harta begitu banyak.

“Aset Taib (dan keluarga) yang dianggarkan bernilai berbilion ringgit ini adalah tidak logik, bagaimana Taib boleh mengumpul harta yang begitu banyak sedangkan beliau hanya ketua menteri yang juga kakitangan kerajaan,” kata Pengarah Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) Dr Kua Kia Soong.

Jelas beliau, pihaknya mempunyai bukti bahawa aset Taib diperoleh melalui salah guna kuasa dan rasuah termasuk ada kaitan dengan syarikat-syarikat dalam dan luar negara yang tidak diketahui.

“Sebahagian daripada syarikat di Malaysia dimiliki keluarga Taib dan ada syarikat di luar negara juga yang mempunyai kaitan dengan keluarga Taib tapi kita tidak tahu jumlah sebenarnya.

Kata beliau syarikat yang ada kaitan dengan keluarga Taib adalah Achi Jaya Holding Sdn Bhd, Borsarmulu Resort Sdn Bhd, Cahya Mata Sarawak Sdn Bhd, Naim Holding Berhad, Kumpulan Sanyan, Syarikat Aluminium Sarawak, Sarawak Energy Berhad, Kumpulan Ta Ann, Tatanium Management Sdn Bhd dan UBG Berhad.

“Ini hanya di Malaysia,” katanya.

Kata beliau, yang di luar negara pula Adelaide Ottawa Corporation (Kanada), City Gate International Corporation (Kanada), Glowell Development Corporation (Kanada), Ridgeford Properties (Britain), Geneid Holding Pty Ltd (Australia) dan Valentine on George Pty Ltd (Australia).

Menurut Kua, keluarga Taib juga turut mempunyai kaitan dengan beberapa syarikat di Hong Kong dan Amerika Syarikat.

“Suruhanjaya diraja ini perlu ditubuhkan untuk menyiasat jumlah aset yang dimiliki Taib dan keluarga.

“Semua aset ini perlu disiasat dan didedahkan, bagaimana seorang kakitangan kerajaan boleh memiliki kekayaan yang begitu banyak? Apa yang beliau telah lakukan sedangkan ramai rakyat Sarawak hidup dalam keadaan miskin dan papa,” katanya.

NGO yang menyertai gabungan ini ialah Aliran Kesedaran Negara (Aliran), Persatuan Badan Bertindak Wanita (Awam), Amnesty International Malaysia, Bersih 2.0, Bruno Manser Funds, Pusat Bagi Kewartawanan Bebas (CIJ) Malaysia, Inisiatif Pembangunan Kanak-kanak (CCID), Dewan Perhimpunan Cina Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor, Pusat Prihatinan Orang Asli (COAC), Gabungan Urus Tadbir Pulau Pinang, Badan Bertindak Jaringan Komuniti (CAN), Warga Kota Damansara (FoKD) dan Kumpulan Rakyat Prihatin.

Lain-lain ialah Inisiatif Ekuiti Kesihatan (HEI), Ikatan Hak Rakyat, Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas (Jerit), Johor Tamizhar Sangam, Persatuan Pengguna Klang, Lawyer of Liberty, Pusat Pembangunan Kebudayaan LLG, Pergerakan Demokrasi Pelajar dan Pemuda Malaysia (DEMA), Persatuan Dravidian Malaysia, Persatuan Perniagaan India Malaysia dan Persatuan Pembangunan dan Uniti Masyarakat India Malaysia.

Turut bersama Pusat Pembangunan dan Kajian Manusia Malaysia, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), Persatuan Sekolah Persendirian Cina Pulau Pinang, Persatuan Alumni Chung Ling Pulau Pinang, Organisasi Perkhidmatan Awam, Persahabatan Semparuthi, Persatuan Kemajuan Pendidikan Malaysia, Persatuan Kesedaran Komuniti Selangor (Empower), Persatuan Masyarakat Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan (Permas) dan Persatuan Prihatian Belia Malaysia.

Pusat Komunikasi Masyarakat (KOMAS), Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia (SABM), Sembang-sembang Forum, Sem Kiong Angin, Woman Aid Organisation (WOA), Pusat Kesedaran Wanita (WCC) Pulau Pinang dan Pakatan Penulis Media Bebas (WAMI) juga menyertai gabungan NGO ini.

“Sebenarnya isu-isu yang kita bangkitkan ini bukan isu lama, kita sudah bawa sejak dari dulu lagi cuma ia tidak disebarkan melalui media.

“Sebagai contoh isu balak haram, kita dah bangkitkan sejak dari 1980 tapi sehingga kini tiada apa yang berlaku, siapa yang dapat hasil pun kita tidak tahu, syarikat mana pun kita tidak tahu. Begitu juga dengan empangan Bakun sehingga sekarang walaupun ada bantahan, ia diteruskan,” kata Pengarah Eksekutif KOMAS Tan Jo Hann.

Tambah beliau, terlalu banyak penyelewengan dan salah guna kuasa yang dilakukan Taib, namun tiada tindakan diambil sehingga beliau mampu bertahan selama 30 tahun sebagai ketua menteri.

“Banyak perkara yang berlaku (dalam pentadbiran Sarawak) dan kita tidak hanya sasarkan kepada Taib sahaja, cuma apa yang kita boleh katakan, pemimpin yang korupsi seperti beliau bagaimana masih boleh bertahan sehingga kini?

“Sebab itu kita mahu beliau disiasat, apa penyelewengan dan rasuah yang berlaku... berapa banyak? Siapa terlibat?” soalnya.

Bulan lalu, Transparency-International Malaysia (TI-M) meminta Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) agar menyiasat dakwaan rasuah yang melibatkan Taib.

Badan pemantau antirasuah itu menggesa SPRM agar mengambil tindakan segera memandangkan tuduhan terhadap Taib, ketua menteri paling lama memegang jawatan, sudah muncul di media asing sekarang.

Kata Kua, rakyat Sarawak berhak untuk mendapatkan pembangunan dan kebajikan seperti yang dilakukan sesebuah kerajaan lain.

“Rakyat Sarawak berhak untuk mendapatkan hak mereka, mereka juga berhak untuk mendapatkan pembangunan dan kemudahan.

“Sekarang sudah tiba masa bagi rakyat Sarawak untuk menentukan sendiri masa depan mereka yang telah dianugerahkan dengan alam semula jadi dan sumber alam, kini sudah tiba masa rakyat Sarawak bangkit untuk menyelamatkan diri mereka dan juga negeri,” katanya merujuk kepada pilihan raya Sarawak yang sedang berlangsung sekarang.

Sementara itu, Jawatankuasa Komuniti Bersih, Maria Chin Abdullah berkata, pilihan raya Sarawak perlu diadakan dengan telus dan bersih.
“Kita negara demokrasi tapi tidak amalkan demokrasi, jadi pada pilihan raya Sarawak dan pilihan raya umum amalan demokrasi ini perlu diterjemahkan.

“Jangan hanya sebelah pihak mendapat kebebasan untuk bersuara tetapi pihak satu lagi tidak boleh,” katanya.

"BN Banyak Makan Sudah Kenyang!"


Sunny day in Marudi small town, everywhere flowering with BN, PKR and SNAP's flags and banners, but the people's mood here seems like "business as usual" according to one resident "biasa saja..."

We talked to one of food shop towke (boss). He expressed that he is very tired of Taib (Chief Minister) "Taib ambil banyak hasil Sarawak. Cuba tengok Penang banyak bagus. Mereka tak banyak hasil tapi banyak tolong rakyat!".

According to one towkay kedai buku in Marudi, "BN makan banyak selalu, nampaknya mereka sudah sangat kenyang, i tak sokong. Saya sokong pembangkang, Anwar (Ibrahim) punya parti (PKR)

One old man who was buying newspaper in Telang Usan area, he feels that this election will see a 50-50 chance of both sides winning.
