Media Statement
Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir, BN Menteri Besar for Perak confirms that Dato’ Mah Hang Soon is not authorized to represent BN Perak Government to debate with Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham. It also confirms the fact that Dato’ Mah has no say in the BN Perak State Government.
Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir, BN Menteri Besar for Perak has confirmed in his statement to the media that the debate between Dato’ Mah Hang Soon and me does not concern him at all implying that Dato’ Mah does not represent the BN State Government in the debate.
His statement confirms my early assertion that Dato’ Mah Hang Soon does not have any say over Perak BN policies and does not have the authority to represent the Perak BN Government.
Dato’ Mah Hang Soon must apologise to the public for giving the impression that he can represent the BN Perak Government to debate with Perak PR.
I have wanted to debate with him the policies of BN and PR that have been implemented and also the proposed programs that BN and PR will be carrying out for the people of Perak
The people are not interested in what Dato’ Mah Hang Soon or I have to say. They would like to see how the policies of BN and PR will benefit them.
Dato’ Mah is now trying again to find the an excuse to avoid the debate. He is now saying that the venue, time and moderator appointed for the 1st November debate are not suitable.
I would like to remind Dato’ Mah that when he put forth his challenge he had stated that he was ready to debate anytime anywhere. PR Perak accepted the challenge and has authorized YB Nga Kor Ming to take up the challenge and fixed 8.00 pm 1st November 2010 for the debate at Kwantung Association Hall at Taiping with NTV 7 Miss Lee Siad Huey as the moderator.
Dato’ Mah Hang Soon then give an excuse that he will only debate with me and not YB Nga Kor Ming. He had never objected to the time, venue or the moderator.
I will wait for Dato’ Mah at time and venue that has been fixed and hope he with get the mandate from BN Perak State Government to debate with me.
Dated this 26th day of October 2010.

Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham accepts the challenge by Dato’ Mah Hang Soon to debate on the policies of Pakatan Rakyat and the BN Perak Government.
Media Statement
Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham accepts the challenge by Dato’ Mah Hang Soon to debate on the policies of Pakatan Rakyat and the BN Perak Government. Mah Hang Soon must come with the mandate from the BN Perak State Government as he has no say in the BN Perak State Government.
Dato’ Mah Hang Soon, a member of the BN Perak State Government Executive Councillor has recently thrown a challenge to the Pakatan Rakyat Perak to debate on the policies implemented by Pakatan Rakyat during its 11 months’ reign in Perak before the power grab by BN on 6/2/2009.
Dato’ Mah asserts that the policies of BN are better than PR which the latter disputes.
PR Perak has authorized one of its then PR Perak Government Executive Councillor, YB Nga Kor Ming to represent PR to debate with Dato’ Mah Hang Soon. Dato’ Mah Hang Soon however, chicken out giving the excuse that he will only debate with me. I did not accept then because Dato’ Mah Hang Soon like many other Executive Councillors and Ministers of MCA does not have a say over the policies of BN which are dominated by UMNO and therefore, they cannot represent BN.
I had then suggested that since it is a debate over the policies of BN and PR State Governments, Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir as BN Menteri Besar should take on Dato’ Seri Nizar Bin Jamaluddin the PR Menteri Besar in the debate. My suggestion has not been taken up by BN as I sincerely believe that Dato’ Seri Zambry does not dare to take up the challenge because BN policies pale in comparison with the PR policies.
In order not to give an impression that the PR Government cannot defend its policies, I hereby declare that I will take on Dato’ Mah Hang Soon to debate on the policies of PR and BN Governments of Perak. I would however, like him to get the mandate from the BN Government of Perak that he represents the BN Government of Perak. I will await the announcement from Dato’ Seri Zambry that his government endorsed Dato’ Mah as his government’s representative. The reason why I insist that Dato’ Mah must get the endorsement from BN Perak Government is because it has been proven that he has no say in the BN Perak Government.
When PR Government approved the freehold titles for Kg Tersunsun and New Villages, Dato’ Mah had asked that the premium discount should be 90% instead of the 80% (of the enhanced value of the property) given by the PR Government. Now, that he is in government he cannot influence the BN Government to give the 90% discount proposed by him. He could not even get the BN Government to continue approving freehold title to the residents of Kg Tersusun and New Village.
I do not want Dato’ Mah to come to the debate delivery the policies of BN which are in fact not that of BN.
I am awaiting to meet Dato’ Mah Hang Soon at Kwantung Association, Taiping at 8.00 pm, 1st November 2010 (Monday).
Dated this 23rd day of October 2010 (Saturday).

BN Perak Menteri Besar, Dato’ Zambry and BN must not divert people’s attention from their involvement in transferring voters from one constituency to another.
Dato’ Seri Mohd Nizar Bin Jamaluddin and I have raised our concern that BN is probably behind the transfer of voters who are supporters of PAS/PR from the Pasir Panjang Constituency (Nizar’s constituency) to my constituency of Sitiawan. This is to undermine Dato’s Seri Nizar’ success in the coming 13th General Election in his constituency when he won with 4,474 majority votes in 2008 (11,994 v. 7,520) while allowing DAP to continue to win the Sitiawan Seat. This is because the BN feels is unlikely to be reversed the result of the Sitiawan seat which DAP won by 8529 votes in 2008 (12,381 v. 3852). We have also raised the issue of BN behind removing PAS/PR supporters from the Pengkalan Baharu seat where BN won the seat by only 14 votes.
The media has on 16/10/2010 quoted Dato’ Seri Zambry, the BN Menteri Besar of Perak as saying that Dato’ Seri Nizar and I are probably behind the transfer of voters from Ipoh Timur, Ipoh Barat and Batu Gajah to Sungai Rapat (Dato’ Hamidah’s Constituency).
Dato Seri Nizar and I would like to categorically deny that we are involved in the shifting of voters as alleged by Dato’s Seri Zambry. I have also checked the DAP representatives of Ipoh Timur, Ipoh Barat and Batu Gajah and they are also not involved in the shifting of voters.
I call on Dato’s Zambry to answer specifically if BN is involved in the shifting of voters in the Perak as many have reported to us that BN is involved and will play dirty in this coming General Election. Zambry must not divert the people’s attention from their wrong doings.
Dato’ Seri Zambry and Dato’ Hamidah are involved in a show play (sandiwara). I have news that Dato’ Hamidah is no longer popular with the voters of Sg Rapat and is finding an excuse to move out and contest in Hulu Kinta. Dato Zambry is trying to help her. I understand that the present elected representative of Ulu Kinta (Dato Rosnah) is very upset by this move and there is an upheaval in UMNO. I hope Zambry and Hamidah will clarify the happenings in UMNO rather than shifting the people’s attention to other people.

Speech by Ngeh Koo Ham, Perak DAP Chairman at DAP Bidor dinner on 10/10/2010:
Agreement has been reached with M Kulasegaran to settle all differences through internal discussion. Our differences not because to seek position, glory or benefit but differences in opinion which occur in any organisation
I am happy to note that this afternoon I have reached an agreement with Sdr M Kulasegaran to settle all differences through internal discussion.
I would like to emphasise that our differences was not because we were seeking personal position, glory or benefit as some have tried to imply when our differences were exposed in the media.
Sdr M Kulasegaran and I have joined the DAP for more than 20 years ago at a time when joining the DAP means only sacrifice and risked being arrested (just after the 1987 Operation Lallang). We joined out of a duty to our nation and a call to contribute to our society.
I would like the public to realise that in any organisation be it in a Parents Teachers Association, a School Board, Chamber of Commerce, a committee of a religious organisation or a non-governmental organisation, there will be differences in opinion as they are made up of individuals. All the more, in a political party where more contentious matters will have to be dealt with.
Very often a decision made will inevitably make some unhappy. For example, when there are three qualified potential candidates for a constituency, only one candidate can be selected to contest on behalf of the political party. When a candidate is selected the other two will probably be unhappy. The public must realise that some unhappiness will be unavoidable in certain political decisions.
Similarly in the democratic system which we all subscribed to, there will be a winner and a loser in a contest.
What is important is that the party chose a candidate base on his merits and suitability. Similarly, leaders in a democratic process is elected to carry out the work that he has been elected to perform. Those who lost are also to help those elected to ensure the tasks ahead are successfully carried out.
Politicians very often have to make a decision in a non-ideal circumstances but the people will judge us with an ideal mind.
I hope the public will not see any differences in opinion as a split, a fractional or factional politicking.

Deeply regret that media will give coverage to a poison pen letter which was obviously false and a piece of rubbish.
Media Statement
Deeply regret that media will give coverage to a poison pen letter which was obviously false and a piece of rubbish.
I refer to the media coverage concerning a poison letter which has been circulating even before 1/10/2010. I deeply regret that the media should give coverage to such a piece of rubbish.
The letter has no author, no date, no address or contact number and its contents obviously false.
It was addressed to 19 DAP State elected representatives and 6 DAP MPs in the Perak State. (Note: The DAP has only 18 State elected representatives in the State of Perak).
It alleges that all the 6 MPs and 19 State elected representatives were given timber concessions and each of them were paid RM500,000-00 for each of timber concession. No one in his right mind would ever believe that YB Lim Kit Siang, myself, YB M. Kula, YB Nga Kor Ming, YB Fong Po Kuan and YB M. Manogaran and all the other State Assemblymen/women of the DAP would be involved in such a scandal.
If anyone has any evidence of any corrupt practice, against any DAP elected representative, he can easily sell it to UMNO/BN for a million ringgit each. The evidence will ensure that DAP/PR will not get the trust of the people and therefore, the mandate to lead the State in the next General Election.
The records of PR’s administration are in the hands of the BN Perak Government and BN has taken control the Perak State since 6/2/2009. If there is evidence of corruption, they would have exposed it long time ago. The police and the MACC would have been after us a long time ago. Imagine how the MACC went after PR leaders in the Teoh Beng Hock case when the alleged (which is not true) misuse of fund was only about RM2,400.00.
On the contrary, the Auditor General’s office which is a department of the Federal Government has given the PR Perak Government an unprecedented 4 Star excellent performance rating for PR’s short administration of Perak.
I believe the poison letter is not an inside job as speculated by some because it implicates all MPs and State Representatives of the Perak DAP. It was circulated before the outburst of Sdr M. Kulasegaran on the night of 1st October, 2010 when he announced his intention to leave the Perak DAP.
I believe, just like the demonstration by a group of protestors ( who claimed to be DAP members but are not ) in front of DAP Perak on 6/10/2010, it is the work of BN or its supporter. SATU LAGI PROJEK BN.
Dated this 8th day of October 2010.

Demonstration in front of DAP Perak Headquarters. PR members and the public must be wary of dirty tactics employed by BN
Media Statement
Demonstration in front of DAP Perak Headquarters. PR members and the public must be wary of dirty tactics employed by BN
At around 11.00am this morning a group of about 20 mainly Indian youths demonstrated in front of the DAP Perak headquarters. They claimed to be DAP members from the Buntong branches and members of the PR Youths in Perak.
I have now verified from Buntong DAP branches and our national membership record that those who participated in the demonstration are not DAP members.
We suspect BN is behind the demonstration as the former Ipoh Barat PKR division chief, Fauzi Muda was seen among the group. Can BN owns up?
A police report will be lodge by a representative from the Buntong DAP branches against this group for impersonating as DAP members tomorrow.
We urge DAP members and the public to stay calm and be wary of the dirty tactics employed by UMNO/BN which we have witnessed repeatedly in Penang.
I call on the people to stay on course with PR in our mission to save the nation from bankruptcy and destruction by changing the BN government in the coming 13th General Election.
Dated this 6th day of October 2010.

Forgive us if we have been less than perfect in handling DAP Perak problems. DAP Perak calls on the public to allow it to resolve its problems interna
Speech by Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham, DAP Perak Chairman at the DAP Taman Kanthan Jaya dinner last night (Sunday 3rd October 2010) at Kwan Ti Meow hall (Temple hall), Perak.
Forgive us if we have been less than perfect in handling DAP Perak problems. DAP Perak calls on the public to allow it to resolve its problems internally and calls on the people to continue to support the DAP for what it stands for and for its proven track record.
Today almost all the newpapers give headline coverage with regard to the intended resignation of Sdr M. Kulasegaran from DAP Perak.
Thank you to the many who have expressed their concern for the unity and the solidarity of DAP Perak. As Chairman I will be the first to be concerned that they are maintained.
After M. Kula informed the media concerning his intended resignation, many unfair articles have been written and hurtful comments made against me and my cousin, Nga Kor Ming. We became the target of hate and are exposed to the attacks of our enemies. For the above reasons, I have earlier expressed my regret that M. Kula should expose internal matters to the media.
I would like to have may side of the story told but I would be committing the same error. I will be exposing my comrades and the party to the attacks of the enemy. A soldier will keep a secret to safeguard a nation and risked being shot. I will willingly suffer the injustice of being denied the right to reply and be subjected to hurtful attacks that have been assailed against me than to put my party in jeopardy and cause the mission of the people to be derailed.
The people’s mission is to have a change of government in the coming 13th General Election to save the nation from bankruptcy and destruction.
Just like any organisation be it a School Board, Parents Teachers Association, a church committee, a temple committee or a Non Government Organisation, there are bound to be differences because they are made up of individuals. Whatever differences, they must be resolved internally lest it brings negative impact and image to the organization. I believe whatever differences, M. Kula has with me or with others, they can be resolved internally. I asked that you do not hate M. Kula for what he has transpired. I asked that you do not hate me or my cousin, Nga Kor Ming after hearing one side of the story. You may have judged us wrongly and unfairly. Please support each and every leader of the DAP. Allow us to settle our differences internally just like you would with other organizations.
You must continue to support the DAP for what it stands for and for its proven track record. Each and every support is needed to accomplish our coming mission. I hope this episode will not in any way erode your confidence in the DAP and PR. Forgive us if we have acted less that perfect in the abovesaid episode.
