Cloak and dagger game

SAPP takes note of the DAP Sabah negotiation panel on seats sharing in preparing for the general elections. This panel was constituted in January this year. Has DAP actually negotiated with PKR and PAS in Sabah, as claimed by them?

SAPP confirms that Sabah deputy chairman Fred Fung who supposedly heads the so-called negotiation panel has spoken about this to me and our party President, Datuk Yong Teck Lee.
We are currently still waiting for answers to our enquiries put to Fred Fung in February (this year) i.e. what is the mandate of this DAP panel? Do they have to refer to "higher ups"? Is there a counterpart team in PKR and PAS to negotiate with?

SAPP wished to avoid the Sarawak situation whereby Pakatan member SNAP had already agreed with DAP and PAS on the seats arrangement. But PKR went for all the seats that DAP and PAS did not contest. Remember, SNAP is a member of Pakatan.

We also remind DAP about the fiasco in October last year, prior to the nomination of candidate for the Batu Sapi by election when PKR’s top delegation from KL and Sabah had an agreement with the SAPP delegation on 21st October in Kota Kinabalu. PKR said they represented Pakatan because they have been given the mandate to negotiate with SAPP. This was because PKR was chosen to contest the Batu Sapi by-election.
Unfortunately, immediately after the meeting, the then Sabah DAP chief Dr. Hiew King Cheu denied that the meeting was valid. He insulted both delegations by calling the meeting "mere coffee shop talk". And to make the matter worse, at the Batu Sapi by-election, Pakatan Campaigners from Sabah and west Malaysia ferociously attacked SAPP instead of BN. This was in spite of the mutual agreement not to criticize each other and to campaign against BN.

There is even proof to show that a DAP leader colluded with UMNO to make sure SAPP lost. It looked like DAP was competing with SAPP to be the opposition instead of co-operating with SAPP to topple BN. We hope these sad episodes will not be repeated by the new leadership in Sabah DAP.

  1. Jimmy Wong advised SAPP to negotiate with their "3 men panel" first, and DAP KL will not negotiate with SAPP becoz KL has authorised DAP Sabah to negotiate on their behalf first. Also, he further commented that the Batu Sapi incident already well passed and all should just let the issue passed by.

    Some observations here:

    - DAP is sending secondary leaders to negotiate with SAPP. So even after negotiation, the outcome still subject to approval from DAP KL or Pakatan Rakyat or PAS or PKR?

    - Looks like DAP looks down on Sabah opposition. Sabahan are just 2nd class oppressed people, and doesn't deserved utmost attention from KL. No wonder it's treated like a colony of Malaya, and BN called it fixed deposit. This is basically what the statement of a brain washed Jimmy Wong implies, Sabah is subject to KL colonisation.

    - The way DAP treats SAPP is similar to the way UMNO treats MCA, MIC, Gerakan etc etc.

    - Why Jimmy Wong refuses to discuss the incidents in Batu Sapi? Does he feel guilty or he think DAP was right in killing SAPP to deliver to BN?

    - In what way sincerity can be expected from DAP if they refuse to acknowledge their past misdeeds, and just simply ask others to forget with NOTHING on offer? Isn't this sounds like the trademarks of irresponsible UMNO statements?

    - C'mon la, the crux is DAP is increasingly behaving like the UMNO way of bullying Sabah and its people.

  2. Yes, there should be a post mortem on what went wrong at Batu Sapi. DAP and PKR should explain their arrogant and backstabbing.

  4. DAP and PKR has killed their friend SNAP in Sarawak by backstabbing. It is no surprise they will try to kill off SApp in GE13 for their opportunistic ends.
