DAPSY is Disappointed with the Police Investigation against the Wrongfully Accused Loke Siew Fook and Jeff Ooi (Original Statement in BM)

Jeff Ooi (left) and Anthony Loke (right)

Some excerpts from the media statement by DAPSY National Publicity Secretary and State Assemblyman for Komtar Ng Wei Aik:

• DAPSY is extremely disappointed with the police investigation against DAPSY National Chairman Anthony Loke Siew Fook and Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi based on the unfounded, malicious accusations that both of them have insulted Islam
• DAPSY wishes to stress that the police investigation is purely politically motivated, and that both Loke and Ooi have never made any ‘seditious’ statements insulting Islam
• The anonymous blog that published the alleged seditious statement does not belong to Loke. The police should be investigating those who are maliciously abusing Loke’s name to make insensitive statements instead of victimising two capable wakil rakyats who have been wrongfully accused.

Police Report to Deny Unfounded Allegations and Lies that Loke Siew Fook Has Insulted Islam and the Sultan of Perak

Media Statement by DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) National Chairman and MP for Rasah Loke Siew Fook on Monday, 10 August 2009 in Kuala Lumpur:

I’ve just lodged a police report at Dang Wangi Police Station to deny unfounded allegations and lies which was spread by certain blogs and SMS circulation claiming that I have made statements insulting Islam and the Sultan of Perak.

I wish to deny strongly that neither DAPSY nor I have ever issued any statements that insult Islam or the Royalty. Those are lies spread by certain irresponsible parties out to tarnish the image of the DAP and tried to paint DAP as anti-Islam and anti-Malays.

My police report as below:

Mohd Ridhuan Tee Must Apologize to Teoh Beng Hock’s Family and Two Chinese Language Dailies! (Eng & Cn)

Media statement by DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) National Chairman and MP for Rasah Loke Siew Fook on Tuesday, 4 August 2009, in Petaling Jaya:

It is sickening to see that a person with supposedly strong academic credentials and high religious stature can produce such cruel and heartless remarks over the issue of Teoh Beng Hock’s unborn child.

By twisting a dreadful tragedy with his zealous agenda against “bastard children” in his Utusan Malaysia article, Dr. Mohd Ridhuan, the vice-president of the Malaysian Chinese Muslim Association, has caused immense emotional damage to Teoh’s family.

DAPSY Pledges Support and Participation in the August 1 Anti-ISA Rally (Eng & Cn)

Media statement by DAP Socialist Youth National Chairman and MP for Rasah Loke Siew Fook on Wednesday, 29 July 2009, in Petaling Jaya:

DAPSY fully supports Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA’s (GMI) anti-ISA rally which will be held on this Saturday. DAPSY leaders and members will also participate in the rally to call for the abolishment of the draconian, inhumane, and primitive Internal Security Act.

We also call upon all Malaysian Youths who wish for a more humane and more democratic Malaysia to join us on that day or at least help spread the word.

DAPSY Condemns MACC’s Treatment of Teoh Beng Hock; Calls for Royal Commission of Inquiry into His Death

Media Statement by DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) National Chairman and MP for Rasah Loke Siew Fook on Friday, 17 July 2009, at Petaling Jaya:

DAPSY staunchly condemns the MACC’s vicious treatment of Teoh Beng Hock that may have resulted in his tragic death. We are extremely saddened and infuriated by the circumstances in which Teoh, a dedicated DAPSY member, drew his last breath.

How could a person who was not even a suspect be interrogated overnight, with legal representation being denied? How can a human being be treated in such a way?

There has been extreme negligence on MACC’s part to allow this to happen to one of their supposed witnesses. ‘Releasing’ Teoh after interrogation at 3.45am is absurd enough, but how logical it is for a sane person to not call anyone to pick him up after being released, but to sleep in someone else’s pantry?

We won’t be easily fooled by such nonsense.

MACC Must Be More Prudent in Carrying Out Their Duties (Original Statement in Chinese)

Points from DAPSY National Secretary Loh Chee Heng’s statement:

• DAPSY is disappointed with the raids on two Selangor Pakatan Rakyat legislators’ offices by Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) officers.
• This is not the first time the MACC is practising selective investigation, which casts serious doubts over the credibility and neutrality of the commission.
• Doesn’t it look like MACC is serving its political masters – Barisan Nasional, instead of serving the people of Malaysia?
• MACC should carry out its duties fairly and professionally, unlike how its officers acted in Selangor Exco Member Ean Yong Hian Wah’s office today – secretly breaking into the premise without a search warrant, and after being ‘caught’ by journalists and Ean Yong himself, left his office only to return later to continue searching. The officer in charge even refused to reveal his full name when being asked by Ean Yong.
