SIBU: Sarawak Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association outgoing president Thomas Ling has slammed people’s representatives here for ignoring his recommendation to appoint a Chinese army veteran as a community leader.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Ling pointed out that in the last tree years, he had written several times to Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh and former Lanang MP, who is now Dudong assemblyman, Datuk Tiong Thai King, about the matter but never received any positive response from them.
