DAP wants case of disabled Ho to be reopened


State DAP Chairman YB Chong Chieng Jien together with the family member of Mr Ho Tiong Hwa has urged the police to reopen the case of the OKU's funds being siphoned away by the Assistant's minister's PA in Sri Aman.

'The evidence is overwhelming and the PA to the assistant minister allegedly said that she was only collecting money  for the OKU when quizzed on how come she was shown withdrawing money seen from the CCTV, moreover, there is no evidence of the money was passed to the OKU except for own word of mouth' said Chong.

'It clearly defies all logic that the police would accept her word of mouth under normal circumstances abd furthermore, we have not heard any such extra services rendered by assistant' minister's secretaries to OKU's all this while', added Chong.

The police sent a letter to Mr Ho stating that according to the AG, there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the case. YB Chong has said he will write to the AG and he will raise the matter up in Parliament to the attention of the Home Minister.

Mr Ho Tiong Hwa was unable to make it to the press conference as he was very ill. His brother Oscar Ho was there to brief YB Chong on the case.

YB Chong Chieng Jien was in Sri Aman officiating the AGM of the DAP Sri Aman Branch where Leon Jimat Donald was returned unopposed to helm the branch for another term.
