KINABALU, February 15, 2014: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong
Teck Lee said the accusations by DAP and its leader Junz Wong against SAPP and
him (Yong) were so viciously defamatory that only a full withdrawal and apology
can defuse lawsuits.
“Junz had personally alleged that `SAPP has worked out a 50 million deal
agreement with Najib to split Sabah voters` and that SAPP had offered him (junz)
candidacy and some cash.
“These are blatant lies that only Junz Wong can answer for in a court of law,”
Yong told reporters in response to DAP Sabah chief Jimmy Wong`s call for SAPP
and the party president to withdraw the defamation suits against DAP and Junz.
Yong said Junz and DAP had received several letters from SAPP`s side concerning
these matters but both DAP and Junz had completely ignored our letters.
“Now,Jimmy Wong hypocritically speaks about cooperation, Jimmy Wong should stop
this double talk,” said Yong.
“Luckily, in Malaysia, we still have the courts of law, which DAP has often used
successfully to bring its accusers to court for remedy.
“Three of the four suits concern accusations against SAPP and myself on the
issue of illegal immigrants, phantom voters and Project M.
“These are such serious allegations of treason against SAPP and myself that
since DAP and Junz have refused to even reply to our letters, we are now left
with absolutely no option but to seek legal redress to clear our names,” Yong
said.
He contended that in fact, DAP, Jimmy and Junz knew who the real culprits were
in the illegals,phantom voters and `Project M` issues, but instead of pinning
the real culprits, Dap and Junz had chosen to attack an innocent party, SAPP.
“As for Jimmy`s remarks that the defamation suit is `like an adult bullying a
kid`, My advice to him is not to look down on and insult Junz.
“Junz is not a kid, Within this term of the DAP office bearers, jimmy will
suffer the same fate as other DAP leaders who have left DAP,” he said.
