KOTA KINABALU - LDP Deputy Secretary General Ho Jia Lit has categorically refuted the claim made by its embattled president Datuk VK Liew that its Secretary-general Datuk Teo Chee Kang has no locus standi to speak on behalf of the party as the latter has been removed from his post.
In a terse rebuttal issued here, Ho pointed out that the Registrar of Societies (ROS) still recognizes Datuk Teo Chee Kang as LDP’s Secretary General and that this was reflected in its certified list of LDP Supreme Council dated on Sept 19 2013.
Ho noted that the list Teo obtained from ROS showed the names of all the original supreme council members and party post holders, and it specifically states Teo as the legal Secretary-General of Party LDP among others.
He thus stressed that this effectively nullifies all allegations by Liew on the sacking of Teo and other LDP Supreme Council members.
“This list also effectively meant that there are no ‘vacancies’ for Liew to fill in with new appointed office bearers.
“To date, Liew has not provided any legal evidences to prove otherwise that his alleged new list of supreme council members are legally appointed and recognised by the ROS,” Ho claimed.
Likening Liew’s statement to an act of a desperate and irresponsible leader, Ho expressed regret that it has tarnished the image of Barisan Nasional (BN) as a respectable political party.
He further opined that Liew’s acting like a ‘kampung big bully’ was also a disgrace to his legal profession and to all (none lawyers) LDP members and to the common man in the street, especially when the latter said, “as at today, there is no order from a competent authority to say that their removals and the subsequent suspensions are invalid in law.”
“My opinion as a layman is this, as an experienced lawyer himself, Liew’s statements to the media is an act of disrespect and a disgrace to the integrity of his legal profession where the onus of any one’s Guilt is to provide the proof of his allegation to back him up, and not the other way round,” he said.
Ho also expressed regret that Liew has been all along alleging /accusing that all original LDP elected and appointed supreme council members and party post holders have been sacked by him and he is now demanding them to produce proof of otherwise.
“To me, this demand of his is an outright disgrace to the Professional Ethics of the legal profession and unbecoming of a lawyer worthy of a place in his community and he is thick faced enough to insist from his political party that he be given another five years term as party president.
