DAP Seek To Inherit BCF From SUPP

KUCHING – State DAP Chairman, Wong Ho Leng said he had written to the Sibu Municipal council to organize the Borneo Cultural Festival (BCF) to be organized by the DAP and at the same venue.
In a press conference this afternoon after announcing a shadow cabinet, Wong said since the Barisan Nasional said the people in Sibu are no longer with the Wawasan team, they are unable to organize the BCF, they have no confidence or too shy to do it, the DAP will do it.
He said it was intolerable that the BN should threaten the people in such a way by scrapping the festival which was there for the last ten years just because they lost the support of the people.
Calling them irresponsible, incompetence and sore losers, Wong said in Kuching, the Rainforest festival and other festivals still continued. “They should not look at Pakatan Raykat supporters as stupid and hold them as ransom,” he said.
He said if the BN are not happy, they should resign embloc. He questioned why they did not see it as democratic process and respect the people’s decision.
He said although there was a call to the SMC chairman, Datuk Tiong Thai King to resign, he said the Prime Minister should resign by saying that if the Chinese did not vote the MCA, there would be no Chinese representatives in the cabinet.
Asking the PM to lead by example to tell the people to respect the wishes and choices of the rakyat, the PM should not give such baseless statements.
The SMC which is the main organizer of the BCF had decided to scrap it after its Chairman and Sibu SUPP lost heavily to DAP. Tiong who is also the Lanang MP stood in the Dudong constituency and lost to DAP Yap Hoi Liong by 317 votes. The scrapping of the BCF had caused an uproar in Sibu from all quarters.

tunku : bn did not threat the people of sibu. the people of sibu decided to give to dap to lead them so it is the time for dap to show what they can do for the sibu people.it seems that dap is lack of idea when they don't have any plan to bring more attraction or develop sibu.they want to continue what bn has been doing.that means bn was good then.dap knows how to talk only. wong ho leng himself is a moron with no vision.he should come out with his own idea and make sure the money is coming from the party.prove to people now that dap can do the job instead of talking craps all the time.
