By Datuk Yong Teck Lee Referring to YB Dr. Hiew King Cheu, Ph.D, MP for Kota Kinabalu challenging me to contest against him in the Kota Kinabalu parliamentary seat; my response:
In my 26 years in politics, this is my first time to hear anybody in Sabah challenging another person to contest against oneself. Therefore, I am very scared. Dr. Hiew is the most popular, friendly, humble, hard working and clean MP in Malaysia who is loved by the people. He is so strong that nobody can beat him because of his over whelming majority in the 2008 general elections. Even if he uses another symbol instead of the DAP rocket, he will still win and not end up like Dominique Ng Kim Ho of Kuching.
KOTA KINABALU, Oct 16, 2011: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Information Chief, Chong Pit Fah, in a press statement today said that Hiew King Cheu has confirmed his linkage to UMNO by his own admission when he revealed that he has received so-called documents from UMNO people that supposedly will expose Datuk Yong Teck Lee's misdeeds in government. In case Hiew has forgotten, Yong stepped down as Chief Minister more than 13 years ago.
