Larry Sng launches SWP service centre

Give me the chance to serve you. I’m not a stranger to constituents here because all these years, I have never failed to serve those in need through my socio-education works.

KAPIT: Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) president Larry Sng Wei Shien on Sunday officially launched the Bukit Goram Service Centre, situated at the first floor of Chong Seng Food Court along Jalan Penghulu Nyangggau here.

In his brief remarks, Larry said the service centre was part of his preparation for the upcoming state election.

“At this centre, which is open from 9am to 1.30am and from 2pm to 5pm, our staff will register new members. More importantly, it’s open to everybody wishing to check where their polling district is. This is to make sure that they vote at the right station,” he said.

“In the coming election, I offer myself to contest Bukit Goram.

Sng adamant in contesting Bukit Goram

KUCHING: Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) president Larry Sng is adamant in standing at Bukit Goram despite a possible challenge from PBB.

The reason: The Sng family is deep-rooted in the area. Sng believed that although he was not with the ruling coalition anymore, he could still deliver projects and services to the people as proven by the family’s long service to the various communities there.

“I have served the people here for two terms (2001-2011) and my father before me (1991-2001) and his father before him (1963-1968),” said Sng in a press statement received here yesterday.

He said even when the family was with Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) which was then in the opposition, his family delivered projects to many longhouses and associations in the constituency.

“We funded the construction of Rumah Tubak, Nanga Ensilai, when it was burnt down in the 90s and together with the people, made it the best longhouse in Sarawak.

“We also donated RM200,000 from our own funds towards the construction of SJK (C) Hock Lam School when they needed a new building block.”

He also said when he was no more an elected representative he had donated to over 60 longhouse and associations in Kapit since 2014.

“We continue to provide our education fund (RM1,000,000) and assistance towards the sick and families of the dead. This is proof that even if we are not in the government we can still deliver projects and services to the people and for the people. Make no mistake the people want us to continue to serve them.”

In the face of possible PBB’s challenge in Bukit Goram, Sng said he would not give up and surrender the seat to them.

“Those in PBB have been my friends and some are still my friends in politics. But I cannot give up and surrender my home town of Kapit (Bukit Goram) and supporters because of that,” said Sng

Bukit Goram is the new constituency carved out of Baleh and Pelagus seats where Sng used to be the assemblyman.

As Baleh and Pelagus are both allocated to PRS, Bukit Goram is expected to be claimed by the party (PBB). PRS president Tan Sri Dr James Masing, to the surprise of many, however, gave up Bukit Goram for Samalaju.

Rumours have been rife that PBB will take Bukit Goram and a political secretary to the chief minister Jefferson Jamit Unyat is said to be their potential candidate.-Borneo Post

Ex-Pelagus rep now eyes newly-created Bukit Goram

KAPIT: Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) president Larry Sng has confirmed his interest in the new Bukit Goram constituency in the next state election.

The former Pelagus assemblyman stated this during a ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai’ buffet dinner at the residence of Kong Sien Siong near Jalan Bletih/Jalan Sungai Yong here on Thursday, which also hosted the villagers from Kampung Cina Bletih.

“Don’t doubt my sincerity – my mind is 100 per cent with the Kapit folk. My service has been continuous since the very first day I joined politics in 2011. Till today, I’m still the same Larry – although I’m no longer in the government, my service to you remains uninterrupted because I’ve you in my mind. I’d be very happy to be able to serve you within my means, if given the chance.

“In the coming election, I’m going to contest in Bukit Goram. I appeal to you to continue supporting me as you’d done before. Give me the chance to serve you,” he told those present.

Larry also said as far as Kampung Cina Bletih was concerned, he had worked very hard for the people there. He recalled the resettlement of villagers from what was known as KampungCina Oi Leong Sun near Jalan Airport here following the landslide tragedy that claimed four lives in 2007.

“It was through our efforts (in Sng’s capacity as the Assistant Minister in Chief Minister’s Department then), we managed to convince the Land and Survey Department to expedite the distribution of TOLs (Temporary Occupation of Land) in this area.

“Now, I’m very happy that the resettlement has become a good neighbourhood for the Chinese community – just next to a Malay community. I’m very happy to see that they are living in harmony with each other and also, to know that this was my work.

“Moreover, we also came up with aid for the villagers following the 2007 landslide. If I’m not mistaken, my family and mother-in-law raised RM100,000 – the proceeds from which were meant to help the people at that time.”

On this year’s Chinese New Year celebration, Sng regretted that he could not conduct his usual round of visits this time around.

“Due to time constraints, I could not pay any visit to the open house gatherings here, which is a pity because these events would allow me to meet everybody and share the festive joy.

“Still, I would want to take the opportunity to wish all of you good health, happiness, luck and prosperity in the years ahead,” he said.-THE BORNEO POST

DAP cannot be trusted: Larry Sng

Merger talk with state DAP over, says SWP president

KUCHING: SWP president Larry Sng insists that the merger discussion between the party and state DAP is over.

“DAP talks with SWP have concluded and the result is we will go our own way in this election because DAP cannot be trusted.

“On 25 Dec, DAP issued their list of candidates overlapping the seats which were agreed to have been allocated to us. Hence what we have built all these months and years towards a sincere and long lasting cooperation is a farce. DAP was just wasting our time.

“We will not allow them to play us out again. Let the voters decide who they want in this coming election. We will put up a good fight,” Sng told The Borneo Post yesterday.

He was responding to DAP publicity secretary Wong King Wei’s announcement at a press conference on Wednesday that negotiations on merger between the two parties had been completed.

Sng said he was fully aware of Wong’s statement but questioned the intention of state DAP for putting up confusing statements as to him, further discussions were futile when the initial agreement was not honoured.

Meanwhile, on the number of seats to be contested by SWP, Sng said the party would contest in “a few seats” but declined to disclose further.

Like state DAP not honouring the terms of agreements but took the liberty to announce their own candidates and areas, Sng said close to election time, there would be a lot of surprises.

“There will be a lot of surprises. A lot of candidates will be popping up from both opposition and state BN parties, especially in the areas where agreement could not be reached. For example, there will be a lot of cases like DAP breaking the agreement. This is exactly the kind of situation that will give rise to many candidates in one area,” said Sng.

Though declining to disclose the number of seats and the possible candidates of his party, Sng confirmed that George Lagong has returned to SWP but would not contest due to health reason.

On Meluan seat which is held by Wong Judat, who is still a SWP member, Sng preferred to keep mum on the seat and even the possibility of a new candidate for the seat.

“SWP will contest in a few seats. I will only reveal them in the course of time,” said Sng.

Sng who will be contesting in the new seat of Bukit Goram said as the seat was carved out from his former seat of Pelagus, there were some changes in the racial composition of the constituency.

“There will be an increase in the percentage of Chinese voters in the area,” said Sng.

Over 22 per cent of voters in Pelagus constituency were Chinese who were mostly in the town area. Now with Kapit town being part of the new constituency of Bukit Goram, the percentage of Chinese voters has increased in comparison to Iban and Malay voters in the area.-Borneo Post

DAP - SWP : Hanya Kerjasama Bukan Bergabung

KUCHING: Rundingan antara Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) dan Parti Pekerja Sarawak (SWP) mengenai kerjasama atau penggabungan mereka sudah selesai dan kini menanti formaliti untuk mengumumkan hasil rundingan serta bidang kerjasama yang akan dijalankan oleh kedua-dua parti itu.

Wong King Wei, seorang daripada tiga ahli jawatankuasa DAP yang ditugaskan untuk berunding dengan SWP mengenai perkara tersebut, berkata mereka mengadakan beberapa rundingan sejak beberapa bulan lalu dan ia berjalan dengan sangat positif.

Wong turut menganggotai jawatankuasa itu bersama Timbalan Pengerusi DAP Chiew Chin Sing dan Setiausaha Alan Ling.

“Rundingan diadakan semata-mata berdasarkan keikhlasan. Saya percaya jika ada keikhlasan, pada asasnya masalah tidak timbul mengenai bentuk kerjasama nanti,” katanya semalam.

Beliau berkata pertemuan rasmi terakhir antara mereka dengan SWP diadakan pada 10 Oktober tahun lepas.

“Bagi kami, rundingan berjalan dengan sangat baik dan semua syarat kerjasama antara kedua-dua parti sudah dipersetujui,” katanya.

Presiden SWP Larry Sng dalam akhbar bahasa Inggeris tempatan pada minggu lalu dilaporkan sebagai berkata, rundingan tentang penggabungan antara partinya dengan DAP Sarawak gagal mencapai hasrat tersebut.

Sng berkata SWP tidak lagi menimbang penggabungan dalam perbincangan antara kedua-dua parti.

Memandangkan penggabungan di antara SWP dan DAP tidak dapat dilaksanakan, ramai percaya satu-satunya pilihan yang akan diambil oleh kedua-dua parti adalah dalam bentuk kerjasama.- Utusan Borneo

SWP ber"drama" dengan DAP

KUCHING: Rancangan pakatan antara Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) Sarawak dan Parti Pekerja Sarawak (SWP) kini berubah apabila Pengerusi DAP Sarawak Chong Chieng Jen semalam mendedahkan bahawa Presiden SWP Larry Sng sedang menimbang untuk meminta ahli partinya menyertai mereka (DAP).

Menurut Chong, Larry telah mencadangkan perkara tersebut kepadanya kira-kira tiga bulan lalu.

“Pada mulanya kami berbincang tentang pakatan tetapi kemudian Larry memberitahu saya bahawa beliau memikirkan tentang ahli SWP menyertai DAP,” katanya pada sidang media di ibu pejabat DAP Sarawak di sini, semalam.

Justeru, Chong berkata pihaknya gembira dan mengalu-alukan ahli SWP untuk menyertai mereka.

Beliau menambah, kedua-dua parti juga telah menubuhkan satu jawatankuasa untuk membincangkan bagaimana SWP boleh menyertai DAP.

“Saya ingin menyatakan dengan jelas bahawa Larry telah mencadangkan agar ahli-ahli SWP menyertai DAP tetapi beliau juga mengatakan perlu mendapat persetujuan ahli-ahlinya terlebih dahulu.

“Namun setakat ini kami masih menunggu keputusan mereka…kami mengalu-alukan sesiapa sahaja yang menerima ideologi dan perjuangan parti,” katanya.

Bagaimanapun, pendedahan Chong itu adalah bercanggah dengan kenyataan Larry baru-baru ini yang menyatakan bahawa SWP hanya mengadakan perbincangan mengenai kerjasama dengan DAP semasa pilihan raya sahaja.

“Chong dahulu telah menegaskan bahawa DAP tidak akan bergabung kerana ia adalah sebuah parti kebangsaan.

“Oleh itu, kami hanya mengadakan perbincangan mengenai kerjasama dengan mereka untuk pilihan raya sahaja,” katanya.

Larry turut menegaskan bahawa SWP akan kekal di negeri ini dan keluar dengan logo sendiri pada Pilihan Raya Negeri akan datang.

Beliau menambah, SWP juga membuka pintu kepada mereka yang berpotensi dan ingin bertanding mewakili parti itu sama ada di kerusi bandar mahupun luar bandar.- Utusan Borneo

SWP hopes to be admitted into Pakatan Harapan

KUCHING: Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) hopes to be admitted as a member of the new opposition front, Pakatan Harapan (Harapan).

Its president Larry Sng said the party had been working towards this but so far, it had yet to be accepted.

“The question now is not whether we want to join Harapan but whether they want to accept us to be a part of them. The ball is now in their court,” Sng told The Borneo Post yesterday.

He said the party had two meetings with the state DAP last month over the issue.

“There is no major issue between SWP and DAP. There is a general understanding between us. As for state PKR, we are not sure of their stand yet.”

On the number of seats SWP would be contesting in the next state election, Sng said the party would announce the candidates or its potential line-up in the next few weeks.

For himself, he said his candidacy had already been endorsed by Bukit Goram Division while Munan Laja’s candidacy was announced by Katibas Division recently.

“A couple of divisions will follow suit to announce their candidates. We leave it for the divisions to make their decisions.”

Sng said while different divisions within SWP were scanning for possible candidates, the party itself was also negotiating with other component parties within the opposition front on the possible line-up for the next state election.

“SWP is eyeing a few particular areas and we are negotiating with DAP to see if we could get them.

“We hope there would be straight fight with BN (Barisan Nasional) in all the constituencies,” said the former Pelagus assemblyman.-Borneo Post

Larry Sng may contest in Bukit Goram

KUCHING: Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) president Larry Sng is eyeing Bukit Goram, a new state seat in Kapit, because he is from there.

Bukit Goram, which has about 10,000 voters, is carved out from his former state constituency of Pelagus.

Sng, however, conceded the coming 11th state election would be a challenging one despite his confidence in winning Bukit Goram.

“I am a local from the constituency, and I have received the endorsements of the newly formed SWP Bukit Goram Division and also from SWP Pelagus Division. We are confident of winning the seat despite this being the most challenging election of my political career,” he said through whatsapp yesterday.

Sng had posted in his personal facebook account of his intention to contest in Bukit Goram.

Following this announcement, earlier rumours that Sng could stand in Pelagus is just that – a rumour.

Pelagus assemblyman George Lagong is Sng’s uncle and a member of SWP.-Borneo Post
