Yong: Political lies were taken as complete truth

In the past, I did not bother about political lies spread about me like the Saham Amanah Sabah (SAS issue, the approvals of the 65,000 acres Begaraya land in Pitas and the Tanjong Aru Government Quarters land to private companies. In the internet and coffee shops, lies were spread against me for so long that the lies were taken as complete truths. But as wisdom goes, real gold is not afraid of fire and paper cannot cover fire.

So, now, finally we are beginning to see the end of the falsehood about SAS against me even though the BN government and their PBS cohorts refuse to reveal the truths to the people. The people who know the truths about SAS are still in Sabah State Cabinet. For instance, Deputy Chief Minster Datuk Dr. Yee Moh Chai is guilty of cover up, lies and misleading the people. I have said this several times and Dr. Yee never denied his guilt. If he does deny, then he should sue me for calling him a big liar.

The high profile contests by villagers over the Begaraya land have led to the government revealing that the approval for the Begaraya land was given on 19 March 1996; two months before I became Chief Minister under the CM rotation system at the time. Then, recently, a court case has allowed the exposure that the Tanjong Aru land approval to a private company was given on 25 May 1996, two days before I became CM on 28 May 1996. I do not wish to speculate on the timing and urgency of the approvals by my precedessor, before the power to approval was transferred to Cabinet on 17 June 1996.

Today, in a local newspapers, another ex-Chief Minster, Datuk Harris Mohd. Salleh, said that "Sabah Foundation Shares were taken away by the Barisan Nasional State Government. Datuk Yong Teck Lee was the then Chief Minister," Datuk Harris claimed.

In fact, the YS shares were withdrawn by the PBS administration in 1990 just prior to the State elections that year when YS shares were replaced by the Amanah Rakyat Negeri Sabah (ARNS). I now produce the book published by Datuk Harris in 1996 whereby Datuk Harris wrote that it was the PBS government who withdrew the (YS) share certificates.

This fact was stated three times in the same book. So, Datuk Harris cannot claim that he is not aware that it was not me, as Chief Minster from 28 May 1996 to 27 May 1998, but it was PBS, in 1990, who withdrew the YS Shares. At the time, before the State elections of 1990, I was an assistant minister, not even a full cabinet minister.

Ask why did Harris made such statement, he said he could have been mistaken.

In the case of ARNS, it was a new Fund set up under the Amanah Rakyat Negeri Sabah Enactment 1990, passed by the Legislative Assembly on 15 March 1990 and assented to by the TYT on 31 March 1990. It was this ARNS that disbursed the RM200 to each YS beneficiary using the Yayasan Sabah management and network.

For the information of the public, the accounts of the ARNS distribution of RM200 per head, the accounts could not be audited. As far as I can recall, the Cabinet in about 1997 (when I was CM) was informed that there were audit queries over missing monies and possible fraudulent payments to unqualified or non-existent persons. 

I had asked YS management to lodge police reports. Whatever is the status of the ARNS and YS Share certificates today, I trust that the current administration can satisfy public curiosity. I can only answer for things done by me as Chief Minister.

Datuk Yong Teck Lee, Chief Minister 28 May 1996 to 27 May 1998

  3. This is just a denial.You can hear a lot of them in court everyday where an accused pleads not guilty to a crime he commits.At the end of the trial he still goes to jail.

    You know one thing about YTL that irks me is he wants to potray himself to Sabahans as Mr Clean.I doubt that very much.He should come clean and declare that he was never corrupted or accepts a single cent when he was CM.I challenge him to do that if only to earn my respect but not my vote.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Why not ask the other YBs who never accept a single cent including yourself ...Anonymous? Well, clean or not clean is not the factor...it is the factor what is not right should not be said not right.

  5. Harris the devil as I see him is so old and kept coming back to haunt the people of Sabah with his inconsistent views. Drop dead would be better...live your life to the fullest for the final moments.

  30. YTL is the sabah CM on that time...

    ReplyDelete
  31. so he should be responsible...why he keep blaming others?

    ReplyDelete
  32. people do not trust YTL anymore...he is lack in leadership and accountability as leader...better SAPP get rid of him..he is now a liability to SAPP..keep in mind, GE13 is around the corner.

    ReplyDelete
  33. why SAPP still keep YTL as its president? Yong has too many personal issues such as SAS issue..this will give bad effect to party..SAPP should replace YTL..seek for better leader..

    ReplyDelete
  34. i don't think SAPP will win even a seat in the next GE as long as YTL still the SAPP president...from what i see, Yong is just a liability to SAPP..

    ReplyDelete
  35. YTL is definitely a liability to SAPP especially after he was defeated in Batu Sapi by-election.
    It means Sabahans don't like him.Can't he gets it into his bald head.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Kita tunggulah dan lihat sama ada SAPP akan mendapat sokongan daripada rakyat.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Rakyat paling jelas parti mana yang terbaik untuk mereka, undilah dengan bijaksana.

    ReplyDelete
  38. YTL is simply better than any party import from malaya puppets in Sabah.

    Sabah DAP consisted with a bunch of FAKE PHD holder, FAKE Sijil Anak Negeri, FAKE Sir Wong and what integrity Sabah PR is talking about?

    Anwar was a liability to PR because he was involved in PROJECT IC during PBS took over Berjaya government and imported all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to flood Sabah when he was Deputy Prime Minister.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Musa is the WORST CM in Sabah history to make Sabah to be the POOREST state in Malaysia.

    Musa jobs is to steal and rob the poor Sabah native lands for the past 9 years.

    ReplyDelete
  40. If YTL is guilty in SAS, why BN so afraid to issue WHITE PAPER to tell the truth instead of merely slandering in press?

    SAPP has made many police and MACC report to ask to investigate the SAS issue but why no action until today?

    Only those opportunists from Sabah PR and hypocrites from BN will take this advantage to speak with forged tongue to spread lies against YTL as they knew SAPP is getting more and more support by the Sabah people.

  41. Politic itself is full of lies and corruption. Who to be believed?

  42. Banyak rahsia sesama ahli politik ini, apatah lagi bila pernah bersama-sama dalam satu parti. Susah mahu jatuhkan antara satu sama lain.

  43. We will see whether Yong is still needed in Sabah's politic or not in this coming GE.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Masih boleh pakaikah apa yang Harris cakap?

  45. May the truth be revealed one day. Let us see who will going down.

    ReplyDelete
  46. who chief minister during that day? YTL or YMC?? who have the power as chief minister and who should responsible for inefficiency and ineffectiveness of state government administration at that time?

    ReplyDelete
  47. During Asia Financial Crisis, None of the Asia country stock could maintained their stock prices including KLSE dropped to the LOWEST in Malaysia history which is 279 points.

    Why no one attack Amanah Saham Selangor, Johor, Melaka and etc ???

    Why SAS price remained stagnant for the past 14 years after 1997?

    Is Musa SLEEPING in his job or what?

    If BN sincerely want to reveal the truth, why not issue White Paper?

    It has proven all the BN and PR crooks with evil intention merely want to do slandering against the local Sabah opposition SAPP because SAPP is getting stronger each day!

    BN and PR are worrying of the strength of SAPP!

  53. Masalah kemiskinan di Sabah kita tidak boleh salahkan Datuk Musa. Cuba kamu fikir sebelum Datuk Musa adakah rakyat Sabah kaya raya?? Tidak..Tapi setelah pemerintahan Datuk Musa baru orang heboh-hebohkan sedangkan perkara ini sudah lama berlaku. Ini cuma cara pihak lain mencari kesalahan orang kerana sukar untuk mencarinya. Maka pelbagai isu dijadikan untuk memburukkan pemerintahan beliau.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Terpulang dengan fikiran dan pandangan rakyat terhadap SAPP itu sendiri. Kalau setakat cakap-cakap kosong rasanya tidak ada guna juga. Lapor sana, lapor sini tapi tidak ada kebaikan untuk rakyat.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Mungkin YTL perlulah memperbaiki cara pengurusan beliau. Sejarah dahulu pasti akan menjadi punca sokongan rakyat kurang kepada YTL. Jadi rasanya YTL perlulah berehat dari dunia politik. Berikan kepada ahli lain.

    ReplyDelete
  56. BN Sabah perlulah memberikan lebih banyak peluang kepada parti komponen tempatan untuk menduduki kerusi pada PRU13 nanti. Semoga kerajaan akan terus menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dalam pentadbiran dan pengurusan.

  63. I hope Sabah have few more leadaers like YTL who have the courage to face issues and fight for Sabah. The giants from BN and Pakatan joined force used maximum fire tried to kill off YTL and Sabah party SAPP on Batu Savage but they hv failed .

  64. There is nothing to see in the face and eyes of YTL except the head and thats why people don't support him and SAPP.

Jangan kerana politik semata2. Apa kita anak sabah sudah buta...otak kita diracun sehingga kita tidak dapat berbuat apa2 ....hanya melihat hak asasi kita diangkat dihadapan mata kita.
