KOTA KINABALU: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is holding its Chinese New Year open house events on the first (January 31) and third (February 2) day of Chinese New Year in Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu respectively.

LDP deputy president Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin said another open house organized by former president Datuk Liew Vui Keong in Sandakan on the third day of Chinese New Year (February 2) was not associated with the party.

Chin said LDP president Datuk Teo Chee Kang and himself would lead the Supreme Council members to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the people at Sandakan Futsal, Jalan Borehole, Batu 4 Jalan Utara, from 10am to 1pm, on January 31.

He urged the people in Sandakan to attend the event.

In a press statement issued yesterday, Chin clarified that the Chinese New Year open house in Sandakan on the third day of Chinese New Year was being organized by Liew in his personal capacity.

“It seems that Liew is urging the people to attend his open house by putting up banners and giant billboards using the name of LDP. That event is not organized by LDP,” he stressed.

Chin reiterated that LDP had held an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on October 6 last year, in which the members voted to suspend Liew’s membership pending action by the disciplinary committee.

On January 2, the Registrar of Societies (ROS) issued an official letter endorsing Teo and Chin as the president and deputy president of LDP respectively.

The ROS also ruled that the party congress and elections held on October 19-20 last year, as well as the Supreme Council members elected, as legitimate.

Although Liew had filed an application for a judicial review on the ROS decision, Chin said ROS had endorsed Teo as the new president, whom also received blessing from the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

“Even so, Liew has the audacity to issue press statements, put up banners and billboards using the name of LDP president,” he said.

He said LDP would hold an open house at Dewan Hakka off Tanjung Lipat on the third day of Chinese New Year (February 2) from 10am to 1pm.

Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman are expected to arrive at 11am.
