  • SPDP Holds First Meeting Headed by Mawan
    14/11/2002 SPDP holds first meeting headed by Mawan KUCHING, Wed. - The newly-formed Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party held its first meeting-cum-briefing here today attended by representatives from 55 former divisions of the deregistered Sarawak National Party (SNAP). SPDP pro-tem president Datuk William Mawan Ikom described the meeting as a `new era' after eight months of leadership crisis in SNAP which climaxed in its deregistration on Nov 5 and the registration of SPDP three days later. "This meeting will also chart the direction where we will go and within the Barisan Nasional context," he said in his opening speech. He said SPDP members needed to change in tandem with time and political situation. Mawan, who is the State Environment and Public Health Minister, said what happened during the meeting of the SNAP central executive committee on April 20, 2002, was the tip of the iceberg. (At that meeting, he and eight other party leaders walked out before voting took place to sack Bintulu MP Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing from SNAP). "What happened in SNAP has become history, but its spirit and struggle must go on through SPDP," he said, adding that the formation of SPDP was a way of rehabilitating SNAP members as indicated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad when commenting on its deregistration recently. He said the meeting today was to endorse the steps that had been taken by the party leaders as well as to show the party's appreciation to Dr Mahathir, his deputy Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud for their sympathetic attitude to former SNAP members.

  • S'wak DAP Pours Scorn on Tiong's Appointment Malaysiakini.Com
    S'wak DAP pours scorn on Tiong’s appointment MalaysiaKini.com Jan 7, 2014 Sarawak DAP today poured scorn on the appointment of Tiong King Sing as a special envoy to East Asia by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, accusing his government of losing ‘purpose and direction’ and of wasteful spending. “Why did Najib create a special post for Tiong? “After all there are ministries which can look after foreign affairs, labour, tourism, trade and immigration. “And what special skills Tiong has that these ministers cannot offer?” asked Sarawak DAP Chief, Chong Chieng Jen (left), who is also the MP for Bandar Kuching. Tiong is the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party’s (SPDP) MP for Bintulu. SPDP had expressed displeasure at not being given any ministerial post even though it won four seats in the May general election. Chong said that on December 31 last year, Najib announced austerity measures including cutting off 10 percent of the entertainment allowances of ministers, deputy ministers and top civil servants as one of the ways to save government spending. “But five days later, he announced the appointment of Tiong (right) as a special envoy to East Asia with rank and status equivalent to that of a minister. “I see this appointment as a political one to appease the demands of SPDP. "We have ministers to take care of trade, foreign relations, tourism, and labour-exchange programmes between Malaysia and Southeast Asia countries. So why create a special post for Tiong? “With this post, the government has to spend a conservative estimate of RM10 million a year for the salaries and allowances of the minister and staff, plus paying for offices, cars, etc.

    Umno man wants Najib to head Esscom Free Malaysia Today 7 April 2014 Oleh P Ramani KUALA LUMPUR: The Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) must be headed by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak or else it should be shut down says, Kalabakan MP Abdul Ghapur Salleh. According to Abdul Ghapur, the security command should not be headed by a civil servant as he has no powers to command either the Inspector General of Police or army chief. Abdul Ghapur said that someone powerful should head this command centre or else it will defeat the purpose of establishing it. Bintulu MP Tiong King Sing meanwhile suggested a new Act be introduced under the National Security Council and a commander be placed to head Esscom, and he must report to the Prime Minister’s Department. The Dewan Rakyat earlier passed an Opposition MP’s emergency motion to debate the lax security in Sabah which led to last week’s kidnapping incident in a resort in Semporna. In tabling the emergency motion, Stephen Wong (DAP-Sandakan) told the House that the people had a right to know how taxpayers’ money was being spent on the Esscom. Wong highlighted that a huge fund had been spent to setup and increase the strength of the command centre, but claimed the command centre had failed miserably. He said that the repeated incidents of tourist abduction and the encroaching of Sabah waters had put the country in the spotlight and this situation should be immediately rectified. Wong also emphasised that the Sabah tourism industry will be affected if the security lax was allowed to continue.
