Foo: Hidden agenda behind SAS issue

Kota Kinabalu, Aug 7, 2010: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) thanks PBS Supreme Councillor and Kapitan Chin Tek Ming who challenged Datuk Yong Teck Lee to reveal the Umno leaders involved in the SAS losses. This challenge was reported in the local Chinese newspaper today.

Its Assistant Secretary-General, Foo Fook Ming, said that Chin made a new relevation by mentioning Umno leaders were involved in the local media, should ask Minister Yee, who is the best person to know who were involved.

"Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai also revealed that he has information with the SAS board in the recent state assembly, so I believe he has all the facts about the SAS losses and those involved. Why did PBS strongly object to the SAS White Paper motion? Who are they protecting, Yong or the real culprits?

"To be fair to investors of SAS, Yee and the other PBS leaders should make a report to MACC or to other relevant authorities without further ado.

"Yee, Herbert, Johnny Mositun, Chin Tek Ming and PBS leaders kept on accusing and pointing their fingers at Yong ONLY for all the SAS losses but sinisterly objected to its White Paper motion.

"I could see none other than a hidden agenda…Yee and Chin know that SAS official documents cannot be revealed by any individual to the public because of the Official Secrets Act (OSA). Only the government and assembly have the power to disclose these documents through a White Paper report.

"More than half of the assembly YBs are from UMNO. Some of the UMNO YBs have been very noisy in the assembly. But during the debate in the assembly on the SAS motion, why none of the UMNO YBs said anything? Only YBs from PBS and Gerakan did the barking. Even a kindergarten kid can guess why but lawyer Kapitan Chin Tek Ming does not know. He should ask his master none other than Minister Datuk Dr. Yee Moh Chai."
