KUCHING: State DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen is calling Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem a racist for saying that he will appoint a Chinese deputy minister if SUPP wins this election.

“Anyone who understands basic English would see that it is racism,” he told a press conference here today (May 2).

Chong asked if the chief minister was going to ignore the 29 per cent of the state’s population if SUPP lost in the coming polls.

“Is he going to implement policies that are against the Chinese?”

Last Thursday night, Adenan called upon Sarawakians to vote for SUPP if they wanted to see a Chinese deputy chief minister in the state cabinet.
