A real showdown

YB Dr. Soon Choon Teck recently set up Dudong Constituency Elections Office and put up a signboard outside the office. This was certainly unpleasant to the other faction, but there was no apparent course open to them since setting up an elections office did not contravene the party's rules.

I just learned that the office would be opened on June 4, to be officiated by YB Datuk David Teng. YB Datuk Sri Wong has been invited to attend the function. The opening has been scheduled in such a way as to coincide with the branch level celebrations of the party' anniversary by Sibu branch of SUPP.

The market talk is that YB Dr. Soon's faction is making a pre-emptive strike in an effort to gain an upper hand over formation of the proposed Dudong branch. Did they receive a pat on the back ? It would be interesting to watch out.
