Gerakan : DAP’s Copy Cat Government

DAP’s Sungai Pinang state assemblyman Koid Teng Guan had plagiarized question from a former Gerakan Datuk Keramat assemblyman Ong Thean Lye. He did not rephrasing or paraphrasing; instead commited an exact reproduction of the questions.

Former Gerakan Datuk Keramat assemblyman Ong Thean Lye told a press conference at the Penang state legislative assembly sitting that DAP’s Sungai Pinang state assemblyman Koid Teng Guan had reproduced verbatim three questions that he had raised during the November 2007 sitting of the Penang legislative assembly.

The questions are the Penang monorail project, the location of the Natural Gas Vehicle pumping station to be set up on the island and the allocation for the Sports Foundation Fund each year.

Gerakan seized the opportunity to take a pot shot at the DAP-led state government, branding it a "copy cat" government.

The issue should be addressed as it is misconduct and unethical. It is unacceptable and no tolerance should be granted towards those who indulge this type of practices.

The public should strive to uphold at all cost the credibility and ethical principles that politicians should have.

Regardless of how good and innocent the assemblyman may be, the disrespected unethical practices manner should be condemned to the strongest degree.
