DAP blow to Sarawak KTAR

KUCHING: Sarawak tycoon Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing discontinued with plans to build the proposed Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) branch campus in Bintangor because the Opposition turned it into a political issue against him.

Ting said he felt upset when the DAP accused him of attempting to use the educational project to bribe the voters in last year’s election.

“When you want to donate something (by building the college) and people drag you to court ... how could this thing happen?’’ he asked, referring to the DAP’s bribery allegation against him in an election petition.

The petition was filed by defeated DAP candidate Dr Wong Hua Seh. Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Ding Kuong Hing defeated Dr Wong by a 51-vote majority in a five-cornered battle.

Dr Wong’s petition was rejected by both the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Ting had promised during the election campaign that he would donate land and pay for half of the project’s construction costs if Ding won the polls.

“I never had any intention to bribe the people. This is nonsense,’’ Ting said yesterday.

In last week’s state assembly session, the DAP criticised the SUPP for failing to keep its election promise after Ting announced that he would discontinue the project.

Ting said the SUPP had nothing to do with the proposed project, which was initiated by him, as the party did not have the means and resources to undertake such a big scheme.

He was disappointed that his good intention to implement the project as a personal contribution to his birthplace, Bintangor, had been turned into an issue and had drawn unfounded accusations.

Ting said he had spent some RM40mil to acquire and complete earthworks on the 120ha piece of land.

He said when he first announced his plan to build the campus in 1994, his sincerity and ability to implement it were questioned by certain people.

“They did not support the project as they said it could not be done. people,” he added.
