on the allegations of "Black Gold” in the party and surrender the
investigation 100% to the Police
Press Statement

(Petaling Jaya,
Thursday):
DAPSY commends MCA Youth legal bureau head Simon Lim and Negeri Sembilan MCA
Youth’s Team B leader Mah Ann Ann for their action on lodging two separate
police reports on the alleged prevalence of money politics and the
infiltration of triads in MCA.
This is probably the first time in the history of Malaysian politics that
leaders of a party has lodged police reports against its own party on the
allegation of money and triad politics. This is the best testimony that the
issue at stake has reached a very serious magnitude and deserved the highest
attention of the police.
DAPSY is very concern about the allegations of “Black Gold” in MCA as this
is not just a MCA affair but it concerns the health of Malaysian politics
and will have serious repercussions to the future of the country. In fact,
DAPSY Chairman, Nga Kor Ming has lodged a police report in Ipoh on March
11th when the issue was first revealed by the MCA Youth chief, Datuk Ong Tee
Keat.
If the Youth leaders of Team B in MCA are serious and sincere in tackling
and solving the problems, they should fully cooperate with the police and
reveal all information to the police whether it involved Team A or Team B
leaders.
In commenting on the two police reports lodged, MCA President Datuk Seri Dr
Ling Liong Sik said, “Let the truth emerge from the police report, this is a
free country”. (NST, March 27, 2003). As there are at least 4 police reports
lodged so far by various quarters on the alleged money politics and triad in
MCA, it should now be classified as a police case and no longer a
disciplinary problem of MCA.
DAPSY calls on Liong Sik to suspend all MCA internal disciplinary
deliberations on the allegations of “Black Gold” in the party and surrender
the investigation 100% to the Police. The Inspector General of Police (IGP),
Tan Sri Norian Mai must give serious attentions to all the reports lodged on
this matter and must ensure a through investigation to totally combat “black
gold” from taking roots in Malaysian politics.
