00:00Sarawak United People's Party has fired back at Progressive Democratic Party President
00:05Tiong King Singh over the latter's emotionally charged attack regarding the appointment of
00:10community leaders and Long House chiefs in Cebu.
00:14SUPP accused Tiong of disrespecting the state cabinet's authority and undermining the spirit
00:18of Gabongan Party Sarawak, of which both parties are members, the Borneo Post reported.
00:24In a statement, the party said Tiong's public attacks reflected a lack of respect for the
00:28cabinet committee's collective decisions, adding that the latest appointments of Chinese
00:32community leaders strictly followed quotas set by the state cabinet committee.
00:37Tiong yesterday accused SUPP President Dr. Sim Hui-kian of being power-hungry and crossing
00:43political boundaries by purportedly meddling in the appointment of community leaders and
00:47Long House chiefs in Cebu.
00:49Tiong also said that the PDP Assemblyman for Dudong and Bawang Ahsan, himself and PDP Senior
00:54Vice President Wong Soon-Kho, respectively, were not consulted on the new appointments.
