KUCHING, May 1, 2013: SUPP has been accused of lacking in integrity in its campaign for support from the voters in Stampin and Bandar Kuching parliamentary constituencies.
“There is no integrity and pride left in the party. If the founding fathers like Tan Sri Ong Kee Hui and Tan Sri Stephen Yong were to see what the present leaders are doing now, I am sure they will roll in their graves,” Sarawak DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen said at a press conference.
Chong was incense with the SUPP by putting up banners using red as the background and white lettering, similar to the banners put up by the DAP.
“The problem is that the SUPP banners are asking the people to think carefully and that change in government will cause suffering to the people,” he said.

He said the SUPP banners are being put up alongside the DAP’s banners.
“The SUPP banners do not carry the party logo or symbol, but it says the banners were from SUPP carry a small print,” Chong stressed.
He said the SUPP is stooping low by coming up with the banners which can confuse the people.
“As the SUPP banners carry our DAP corporate colour, the people may think that those banners are from us,” he added.
On another matter, Chong said he will not accept a debate dare from his SUPP-BN challenger Tan Kai as he considered the debate as a joke of the century and Tan Kai as a joker.
“It is meaningless to debate with him because he himself is not sure of the topic, time, date and venue.
“First Tan Kai said the debate be on hudud only, and the debate to be held on May 2, starting at 7pm at Kuching Town Hall.

“Then he changed the topic to how uphold a clean and just future government of Malaysia and the debate be held on May 4 at the 101 Commercial Centre,” Chong said.
With Tan Kai unsure of himself, Chong said there is no point accepting the debate dare.
“If you want to challenge people to a debate, make sure that you fix the topic, date and time and venue, at least two weeks in advance.
“To debate with him on May 4, Saturday, is completely being ruled out because we have our Super Saturday ceramah throughout the country,” Chong said, adding that the Kuching DAP Super Saturday ceramah will be at the open space of the Stutong Commercial Centre.
