Any\u00a0uncollected and undelivered vouchers must be returned to the party HQ,\u00a0to be handed back to the RO. Every piece of voucher is being accounted\u00a0for and reports audited.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 125 BR1M Vouchers being delivered by Mr Lim Ah Ted to Batu\u00a0Kawah, 31 vouchers were indeed addressed to DAP Ms Chiew\u2019s office. We\u00a0did not know who are those recipients but those 31 vouchers have\u00a0registered their address at this DAP service center. However this is\u00a0against the collection policy because we cannot release the voucher to\u00a0just anyone at the address. We must hand deliver every piece of\u00a0voucher to the intended recipient and we need to conduct the\u00a0verification process.<\/p>\n<p>This verification process had apparently upset DAP Chiew. She demanded\u00a0that vouchers being handed over to her and she threatened Mr Lim by\u00a0saying that she wants to issue a press release if Mr Lim refuses.\u00a0Mr Lim was not able to satisfy her demand because handling over\u00a0vouchers to anyone aside from the recipient is a crime. SUPP wants to\u00a0comply to the guidelines given by the RO.<\/p>\n<p>We do not understand what&#8217;s her intention in this matter and\u00a0fortunately our Mr Lim did not comply to her demand. Instead, Mr Lim\u00a0suggested that she goes directly to SUPP HQ to submit her request but\u00a0she declined. DAP Ms Chiew then threatened SUPP that she will issue a\u00a0press statement on the matter and complain about SUPP. Mr Lim was\u00a0puzzled and did not know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>SUPP is now being accused by DAP that we have &#8216;stolen&#8217; the BRIM\u00a0Vouchers. Our good name has been smeared by her on her FB and she\u00a0claimed that a police report has been made.<\/p>\n<p>SUPP has all along been upholding the spirit of integrity and\u00a0transparency\u00a0but now we are accused of stealing when we insist on\u00a0doing the right thing. It is so apparent that this desperate move by\u00a0DAP to accuse us is an attempt to distract the voters from her failure\u00a0to serve the people in Batu Kawah over the last 5 years. This is\u00a0another cheap publicity stunt by DAP which is uncalled for.<\/p>\n<p>We demand that she retracts all the false accusations against SUPP and\u00a0to issue an immediate apology for impugning our integrity; failing\u00a0which, we reserve the right to take all necessary legal actions\u00a0against her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Desperate Move by DAP: SUPP Wronged for Being Honest.
