SUPP still stuck at square one

KUCHING: Is reconciliation, as instructed by the top Barisan Nasional (BN) leadership, the solution to end the bitter internal squabbles in SUPP?

SUPP Sibu chairman Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, who heads one faction, said it was no longer a practical option, but the party’s secretary-general Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian, from the other camp, said reconciling was “part and parcel of politics” and it should be pursued.

Wong, who is also Second Finance Minister, told The Borneo Post yesterday that as much as his faction wanted to adhere to the BN top leadership instructions to reconcile, they had given up on the idea.

He said his faction, which comprises six assemblymen including him, had tried their best to patch up, but all initiatives failed as there was no sincerity from the faction headed by party president Tan Sri Peter Chin.

Wong, who is also Bawang Assan assemblyman and Minister of Local Government and Community Development, said he had in fact spoken to Chin on two occasions, during which they had more or less compromised to end the impasse, but claimed Chin messed it up in the end.
