Perak DAP:Leong has signed SD

IPOH: Malim Nawar assemblyman Leong Cheok Keng has been reminded that he has signed a statutory declaration (SD) to serve out a full term as DAP state representative.

Perak DAP Youth secretary Teoh Yee Chern said Leong and all other candidates picked to contest in the 14th General Election had signed the SD that bound them to the party.

Otherwise, he said they would need to compensate RM10mil to the party if they chose to leave.

“They will also need to resign as state assemblyman immediately, ” he said yesterday.

Teoh said Leong had signed two letters, including the SD, that he would not quit DAP and join another party.

The Chinese media reported last week that Leong, Pokok Asam assemblyman Leow Thye Yih and several other DAP members were quitting the party to join MCA.

Leow dismissed such claims while Leong, on his part, had not quit the party.

Teoh believes Leong’s heart is no longer with the party and that he should just quit.

“He should make things clear and not drag the matter any longer, ” he said.

“He cannot join another party first and wait to be sacked, ” he added.
