Come to Sarawak to do drama series, Chong tells Hong Kong and Korean drama directors



Kuching (Dec 16, 2011): Hong Kong film directors, like Raymond Chow and James Woo, should consider coming to Sarawak to produce a drama series on how to beat the election system, and get away with it.

"The SUPP saga is a classic example. It is more interesting than any current Hong Kong or Korean drama series, and I think the film directors should come and learn from this SUPP saga on how to cheat in real life," Sarawak DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen told reporters today.

"What happened in SUPP, from the beginning of the saga to the time of the fire that destroyed the meeting room, is a classic textbook materials. It is the ultimate way to cheat," he said.

"The fire was rather conspicuously suspicious, and the CCTV sets suddenly malfunctioned. They could not be co-incident."

"Someone should write the SUPP saga for the whole country to read. We thought that the happenings are only in the movies, but we now know that they happen in real life," he added.

"First, qualified branches became unqualified and unqualified branches became qualified. Certain candidates became unqualified and in some others, unqualified candidates became qualified.

"The whole thing is boiled down to cheating.

"What happened in SUPP reflected the true situation in Malaysia during the general and state elections, and only the Barisan Nasional is capable of doing it," he said.

Chong said the rival groups in SUPP must have a lot of experienced on how to win in the elections, and so they applied the tactics in the party election.

"The people should now be convinced that the BN has been cheating all this while. But for SUPP, what goes around comes around," he said.

Chong said his father, Chong Siew Chiang, lost in Sarikei in the past state and general elections because he was cheated.

"He was leading all the way, and then suddenly, a ballot box appeared. My father lost by a small margin of votes," he added.

Asked whether he wanted to see SUPP de-registered because of alleged irregularities and manipulations, Chong said:"No." - By Sematong Express.







Ask Taib, Chong tells reporters


Kuching (Dec 16, 2011): "You got to ask the chief minister. He should be in the knowledge. He is the chief minister and finance minister," Sarawak DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen replied when reporters asked him whether anyone from Sarawak were among those who had contributed to the staggering RM150billion illicit outflow of capital from Malaysia in 2009.

Chong, the Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa State Assemblyman, said Malaysia is known world-wide for the wrong reason.

"The outflow of RM150 billion just in 2009 alone is a very serious matter. In South-east Asia, Malaysia is top and the next country from the region is very far behind," he said when commenting on the statistics released by the Global Financial Integrity (GFI) yesterday.

Chong said between the years 2000 and 2008, about RM889 billion was illegally siphoned out of the country, mainly the proceeds of bribery, theft, kickbacks and tax evasion.

Malaysia (US$338b) is fifth after China (US$2,500b), Mexico (US$453b), Russia (US$427b) and Saudi Arabia (US$366b) among the countries with the massive outflow of illicit capital.

Chong said inspite of the what Prime Minister Najib Razak was doing in his transformation plan, the national debt continued to escalate.

"The reasons are that he (Najib) was concerned with the superficial reform, but not going into the fundamentals, like getting rid of corruption and leakages," he said.-Sematong Express
