‘Cakap tak serupa bikin': SUPP Stakan chief says DAP's 30 pct Petronas stake proposal is political hypocrisy
Sim describes the proposal as a 'recycled promise in new packaging', branding it a political manoeuvre disguised as a policy proposal. KUCHING (June 11): Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Stakan branch chairman, Dato Sim Kiang Chiok, has dismissed Sarawak Democratic Action Party's (DAP) recent proposal for Sarawak to acquire 30 per cent equity in Petronas as a political gimmick aimed at shoring up its support base in the state. In a statement today, he described the proposal as a 'recycled promise in new packaging', branding it a political manoeuvre disguised as a policy proposal. 'DAP's proposal for 30 per cent Petronas equity is just a new version of the same old tactic. In their first term in federal power, they promised 20 per cent oil royalty, 50 per cent tax return to Sarawak, and UEC (Unified Examination Certificate) recognition. 'None of it happened. Even now, in their second term in government, there's no progress,' he said. Sim urged Sarawakians to see through what he called 'empty promises and false premises' meant to sustain DAP's political relevance, rather than bring real change. He also criticised Sarawak DAP's elected representatives, accusing them of underperforming while drawing salaries from both Parliament and the State Legislative Assembly (DUN). 'The people of Sarawak have been misled before. This 30 per cent equity narrative is no different. It is simply a ploy to protect DAP's vote bank, not a genuine commitment to Sarawak's rights. 'We cannot afford to keep DAP politicians who don't deliver. Their excuse of acting as check and balance is weak because they're more concerned about ATM card designs than real issues that affect Sarawakians,' said Sim. Sim also highlighted what he sees as contradictions in DAP's stance on political appointments. While the party claims its members should not hold state agency positions, it currently chairs federal bodies such as the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh). 'DAP leaders say one thing and do another. It's the classic 'cakap tak serupa bikin' (talk does not match action),' he said. Sim pointed to a recent policy in Penang where the DAP-led state government came under fire after introducing a five per cent homeownership discount for Indian Muslims under the Madani Home Ownership Campaign. 'DAP has always sold itself as a party of meritocracy and equality, but this shows otherwise. They'll say anything to gain power, then do the opposite to hold on to it,' he said. In recent reports, Penang's Housing and Environment Committee chairman, S. Sundarajoo, defended the move, saying it was meant to increase homeownership among communities with low participation in the open market and does not infringe on the rights of others. 'This discount is offered by developers as a form of social responsibility and does not involve any financial support or subsidy from the state government,' said Sundarajoo. Sim thus called on Sarawakians to reject DAP's political theatrics and demand real action from those seeking their mandate. 30 per cent equity stake dap Petronas Sim Kiang Chiok SUPP Stakan

Socso cannot inspect private residences without consent
LETTER | I wish to share a matter of public interest regarding a surprise home visit conducted by a Social Security Organisation (Socso) officer without prior notice or consent. During the visit, the officer collected sensitive personal data - including photographs of my MyKad, OKU card, medical records, and personal medication - without any formal explanation or written consent. I lodged formal complaints with both Socso and the Human Resources Ministry. However, the ministry merely referred the matter back to Socso without conducting an independent investigation or providing any clarification on the legal basis for such actions. This raises serious concerns regarding: The protection of individual privacy rights under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution; Possible overreach of statutory powers under the Employees' Social Security Act 1969; Institutional accountability and governance standards in public bodies. Socso, in its official response, cited Section 12A(a) of the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 as legal justification for the visit. However, this provision refers generally to the powers of inspectors and does not expressly authorise surprise visits to private residences. In contrast, Section 12A(b) of the same act explicitly limits inspections to workplaces or business premises - not private homes. This discrepancy calls into question the legality of the visit and the internal policies that allowed it. In the interest of public accountability, I hope your newsroom will consider investigating or highlighting this issue. For personal safety and privacy reasons, I respectfully request to remain an anonymous source. I am willing to provide supporting documentation - including my official complaints and correspondence with Socso and the Human Resources Ministry - upon request. Thank you for your attention, and I trust your team will handle this matter with appropriate journalistic care. The views expressed here are those of the author/contributor and do not necessarily represent the views of Malaysiakini.
