PKR rep sues MP from DAP, media firms

KUCHING: Padungan assemblyman Dominique Ng Kim Ho of PKR has filed a defamation suit against Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen of the DAP, both member parties of the Pakatan Rakyat alliance.
Ng alleged that Chong, the Sarawak DAP state secretary and also Kota Sentosa assemblyman, had defamed him in several press statements published by two Chinese newspapers.
“The most serious allegation was when he accused me of being a ‘stumbling block’ to the co-operation between PKR and DAP,” he said on Wednesday.
Ng also named See Hua Daily News and Sin Chew Media Corp, which published the statements, as co-defendants.
In his suit, he would leave it to the court to decide on damages.
Chong said he received the writ on Monday, adding that he was not afraid of the lawsuit.
“I have learnt from experience and am used to it,” he added.
Chong’s father Siaw Chiang earlier brought a similar defamation suit against Ng who was the former state PKR liaison chairman.
“Siaw Chiang sued me over an incident during the March 2008 general election. I have counter-sued him over another incident,” added Ng.
