The issue of the 100 Ibans who descended upon SUPP office in Sibu to collect payment from election promise has turned nasty in the last 24 hours: Wong Soon Koh, the candidate in the middle of the controversy, issued a threat to sue reporters of the news that the Ibans came for vote-buying payment amounting to Rm400.00 each. He gave a 48 hour deadline for the reporters to retract the report. Not only that there was a rumour that SUPP would protest at DAP HQ in Sibu over the vote-buying issue, after a SUPP leader claimed that the Ibans came to claim payment from work engaged by SUPP. The protest, said to be around 3.00pm today, never took place, according to SEW observers in Sibu, led by Wong Meng Chuo. SEW reporter, who broke the story, stand by her story when interviewed by Malaysiakini. It is most regrettable that SUPP chose to  threaten the messenger rather than deal with the message, no matter how discomforting it may be. So the story which may take away one of SUPP’s few remaining state assemblyperosns, will be kept on the boil for a while.
