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.

April 12 & 13, 2011



MARUDI HERE WE ARE!








Najib to Marudi

We heard that tomorrow PM Najib will come to Marudi for the official opening ceremony of 1Malaysia Clinic, here. Today, we finally arrived in Marudi, a small town all excited with the elections. As expected, there were a lot of banners & posters in town & around the kampung areas.

Strong fight

Before the only banners seen would be BN, but now, it seems like there is a fight for BN. PKR's banners & flags can be seen all over the town area. According to a reliable source, during PKR's ceramah in the past 2 days, a lot of people have attended the ceramah & even donated freely for the campaign. It seems a lot of people are starting to realize & want changes for this small “cowboy town”.

“Traced votes”

On the way from Miri to Marudi, in the express boat, we had the chance to speak to 2 passengers who were sitting behind us. They are government servants, and they express their worries about traced votes. But they were aware of the issues in Baram area that really create worries for the locals especially the Baram Dam. They know how deep their village will be submerged under water if the Baram Dam is continued.

People, especially government servants are worried of “traced votes”. They are afraid to vote for opposition parties because based on their understanding there is a serial number on every voting paper. But since 2008, the rule has changed. There must not be any serial number on the voting paper. If there is anything written on the paper, one has the right to ask the officer in charge and 'bantah' if possible.

April 10 2011 morning



"No need to promise anything, they are all liars!"

 
April 10 2011 morning
Sorry couldn't get any network last nite. We are out of kampung already. Today will go to Peninjau area, in between Miri and Batu Niah.

Last night, (Sat April 9th) we went to Rh. Ampau and Rh. Mat in Ulu Niah to observe the BN ceramah. In rumah Ampau, we interviewed a few people, they expressed unhappiness with the BN's campaign. 

A nenek tua (grandmother) said she was feeling tired of all the promises made before. She said “No need to promise anything because they are all liars!”. She was whispering her comments about broken promises to some young people when the BN speaker was talking 

In Rumah Mat, they are quite welcoming of the BN. We sat next to the old man and he told us that many of them still confused which party they should vote for. He said based on previous experiences, they were cheated by the former YB. It seems everytime they ask for help, their requests were ignored by the YB.
That old man said that probably 50% of them might want change and try a new government. After 15yrs, they feel they still didn't get any development by the BN government. 

At the BN ceramah biscuits and drinks were given to each longhouse. 

April 10, 2011 Morning 8:30am 
 
We went to church this morning, it was interesting the priest’s sermon talked about the real need of the people. He even talked about corruption, NCR lands, mission school funds and also about the bible controversial issue. He advised the congregation to choose wisely. The parishioners were very responsive to the sermon because the issues are close to their hearts.

“lelak meda pekara baka tok” (tired of all the nonsense)

Still at Ngu's foodcourt. Interviewed an old man, he said he's happy to listen to DSAI's speech. In Iban, he said, 'rindu meda' - suka lihat. He (old man) is one of the land fighters. (Pictures will be uploaded soon.)

A young man, 29, working offshore commented “no use to be scared at the police. They are doing their job. Change of govt? No comment.”

He said “lelak meda pekara baka tok” (tired of all the nonsense). He is aware of the political situation in Sarawak through the internet. He concluded “just wait and see what will happen on the 16th

A group of men spoke to us. “Ada harapan ubah kerajaan baru. Ikut prinsip anwar,sendiri mau jaga sendiri. Kalau tidak, sendiri susah. Mesti mau tukar kerajaan baru sebab sekarang semua org sudah sedar. Mereka tidak takut ISA atau polis. Tidak ada rasa takut. Mereka ada perbicaraan NCR dari 2005 sampai sekarang tapi tiada kata putus. Masihkah kita mahu bg peluang dengan kerajaan? Media, tv semua dikongkong oleh kerajaan dan sudah sedar hanya propoganda satu parti. Mereka sedar semua tipu.”

Tentang ceramah pembangkang, mereka tidak takut berada di tempat pembangkang kerana sudah biasa. Tidak juga takut kerajaan marah. Ada harapan kerajaan berubah walaupun goyah. Dulu 2006, org takut untuk membangkang dan hanya ikut 'perintah' iaitu kerajaan. Sekarang ramai yg sedar ditipu. Ramai yang bangkit dan berani berjuang.

Laporan mengatakan DSAI hanya diberi 15 minit utk berucap mula2. Tetapi diberhentikan tiba2. Setelah berbincang, DSAI diberi 5 minit. Sedangkan permit dia adalah 2jam. Info dari penduduk tempatan.

Good Morning Niah!

The crowd at Ngu awaiting for DSAI, around 100 people waiting despite the rain. Spotted among the crowd was Nor Ak Nyawai, pejuang hak tanah NCR. All the way from Miri to Niah, i could only spot BN's flags at longhouses by the roadside. Only towards reaching Niah that I spotted 1 PKR's flag.

The foodcourt at Niah pit stop - Ngu side is full with PKR's flag. Supporters for BN are at the other side of the foodcourt. MP Kapar giving his speech as a start off, good response from the crowd, increasing to around 500 people, seems like very strong support from the locals.

Speech by Tuai Rumah Nor Anak Nyawai in Iban. He talks about his court case.
