PDP division chief defends the appointment of Wong Soon Koh’s grandson as a councillor, tells SUPP to mind its own business.

Bawang Assan PDP chief Wong Hua said it was the party’s right to nominate Sean Wong as a Sibu municipal councillor, fending off criticism from a Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) leader.
Wong Hua said SUPP should mind its own business instead of concerning itself with the affairs of other parties, the Borneo Post reported.
“If you are questioning why Sean was recommended by our party, then all I can say is thank you very much for your concern. When SUPP recommended its councillors, PDP never commented on the appointments,” he said.
He was responding to Dudong SUPP Youth chief Yiing Sy Huat, who is also a Sibu councillor, who questioned Sean’s appointment to the post.
Sean is the grandson of Bawang Assan assemblyman Soon Koh, the former state finance minister II who has had an ongoing conflict with SUPP since he was sacked from the party in 2014.
Not long ago, Soon Koh was the Parti Sarawak Bersatu president as well as the opposition leader. However, the party was dissolved when he and other members joined PDP en bloc.
Sean was appointed a Sibu municipal councillor in April.
Wong Hua urged Yiing to focus on his job as a councillor instead of politicking, saying their energy should be spent on serving the public and developing the local community instead of meaningless arguments and personal attacks. - FMT
