I know what I am doing, says Soon Koh
(The Borneo Post) – Former SUPP Sibu branch chairman Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh said he knew what he was doing, and it was unfair for SUPP members to speak ill of him.
He said he had tried his best to rescue SUPP but all his efforts were in vain.
Speaking to reporters at University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS)’s media night held here recently, Wong opined that SUPP members were well versed about what had been going on in the party all these difficult years.
“From the very beginning, I tried my best to rescue the party, but despite all my sincere efforts, all were in vain,” he lamented.
“As such, it was not necessary for any SUPP member to go around blaming me and spreading lies to tarnish my name over the present predicament the party is facing.
“I know what I am doing. I am not doing it for my personal interest but for the benefit of the people.
Wong, who joined Parti Tenaga Rakyat Sarawak (Teras) on May 15, said what was important was to ensure political stability and unity among party members here so that together they could do more for the people.
On the UCTS project, he said Phase II and Phase III still had some way to go, and that was why the people need to stand solidly behind him so that he could accomplish more for the people of Sibu.
On whether Teras will form a Sibu branch or a sub-branch, he said the matter was already at the preparatory stage.
On a related matter, Wong said those SUPP members who had pledged to stick with him were in the midst of preparing their resignation letters.
“The BN leaders are not talking about this issue openly as we are all in one big BN family, having the same platform of serving the people now and for a long time to come.”
On the removal of the signboards of SUPP Meradong sub-branch, Engkilo service centre, Rejang Park service centre and Tiong Hua Road service centre, Wong said the service centres were no longer in use and it was thus normal that the signboards be taken down.
“I don’t see any big deal about this matter. It is unwarranted for anyone to go round and creating a big fuss out from it.” SUPP Sibu branch interim chairman Chieng Buong Toon recently lodged a police report over the removal of the signboards, saying the action had saddened him.
