SUPP central working committee (CWC) member Kua Jack Seng this morning officially lodged a report at the Satok police station against DAPSY.
He was accompanied by SUPP Youth members John Wong, Angeline Stephen Raja and Russell Lim and SUPP Women chief Kho Teck Wan.
A statement issued by SUPP said the report wants the police to investigate whether DAPSY Sarawak has abused legal and enforcement mechanisms for political purposes.
The statement accused DAPSY of respecting the judicial authority
“As early as August 2020, the Kuala Lumpur High Court delivered a final judgment in a related case, dismissing the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) civil forfeiture application for RM188,138.26 and ordering the funds to be returned to SUPP, as the MACC failed to prove any link between the funds and 1MDB,” the statement said.
“Despite this final court decision, DAPSY Sarawak recently resurfaced the same allegations publicly and lodged a police report, challenging the authority of the court and undermining the finality of judicial rulings and public trust in the legal system.
“The timing of DAPSY Sarawak’s report follows the defamation suit filed by SUPP chairman Dr Sim Kui Hian, who is also the Deputy Premier, against Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen, in which the High Court ruled in favour of Dr Sim and awarded RM500,000 in damages.
“This sequence of events strongly indicates that DAPSY Sarawak’s actions are politically motivated revenge rather than a genuine pursuit of justice, revealing an attempt to exploit legal processes for partisan attacks.
“The matter has already received a final judicial determination, yet DAPSY Sarawak deliberately reignited the issue, violating the principle of res judicata.
“With elections approaching, this behaviour appears intended to target its main political rival in Sarawak,” the statement.
It also noted that SUPP has stressed that no political party or organisation should place itself above the judiciary or manipulate legal processes for political gain. ]
“SUPP has formally lodged a police report, urging authorities to investigate DAPSY Sarawak’s malicious conduct and take appropriate action under the law.
“SUPP also calls on the public to discern the facts, not be misled by political manipulation, and uphold the rule of law and social justice,” the statement concluded.
On Jan 15, DAPSY Sarawak lodged a police report, urging the authorities to immediately launch an investigation into SUPP’s alleged receipt of RM1 million from former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
In a statement, DAPSY Sarawak demanded answers from where did the RM1 million come from and whether involve funds linked to 1MDB or other public monies.
It also wanted to know whether it was derived from abuse of power, money laundering, or other illegal activities.
DAPSY Sarawak said SUPP owed the people of Sarawak a clear, full, and transparent explanation, rather than remaining silent or attempting to divert public attention.
It called the police and all relevant enforcement agencies to act in accordance with the law, independently and without fear or favour, to thoroughly investigate this matter, deliver the truth to the people, and safeguard the integrity of Sarawak’s political landscape.
On Jan 30 2023, the prosecution withdrew its forfeiture appeal against several politicians, political parties and businesses for funds given by former prime minister Najib, amounting to RM21.77 million which were allegedly linked to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
According to the financial daily, The Edge Malaysia, this follows the prosecution withdrawing its forfeiture appeal against 11 individuals, political parties, and business entities at the Court of Appeal.
The 11 entities and individuals are:
Cense co-founder Rita Sim Sai Hoon (RM41,261.64)
