KUCHING: DAP Sarawak secretary Chong Chieng Jen said that the party will not lose sleep over the forming of the Federation of Seven Clan Associations.

Chong opined that the formation of the federation was merely a ploy by Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud to win back the heart of the Chinese and the urban communities.

He also said that the federation would also give their advisor Larry Sng a platform as he is now ‘homeless’.

He also said the forming a federation was merely giving rotten wine a new packaging.

“They may confuse some of the people, but I have confidence in the wisdom of the people to not get confused,” said Chong who is also the member of parliament for Bandar Kuching.

He said this at a press conference at the DAP headquarters, here yesterday.

He also said that the people have spoken through their votes by rejecting the Barisan Nasional (BN), adding that the urban community has rejected the policy of the BN, the corruption, the abuse of power and cronyisms within the party.

“The urban community will see through the whole thing and see it is a ploy as they they have access to information and they are highly educated making them knowing what is wrong and right,” said Chong, who is also Kota Sentosa assemblyman.
