Chong displays his electronic health declaration form which he said he completed under the SOP.
KUCHING (September 30): DAP Sarawak President Chong Chieng Jen has denied allegations of failing to comply with standard operating procedures (SOPs) upon returning from his recent trip to Sabah.
In a statement today, Chong said that he had in fact returned to Sarawak on September 20, before the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) imposed travel restrictions on travelers coming from Sabah and Labuan.
He also criticized the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) for “preparing” a problem on this matter, saying that SUPP, as part of the government of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), should already know that the restrictions were only imposed as of September 21 and at home. The quarantine was imposed as of September 25.
“I have fully complied with the SOP set forth by SDMC, including filling out the electronic health declaration and entry forms by September 20. However, despite full compliance, it still becomes a problem cooked up by SUPP politicians.
“If full compliance with the SDMC SOP is a concern of SUPP leaders, then there must be something wrong with the SOP.
“SUPP should tell the public what is wrong with SOP, not just shoot me and target me,” he said.
He added that if SUPP could not point out what was wrong with the SOP, then it showed that SUPP was simply trying to politicize the issue despite full compliance with the SOP by DAP leaders.
Chong, who is also a Stampin MP and a Batu Kawa Assemblyman, was responding to statements and social media posts from SUPP leaders criticizing Chong for “attending party activities” and “not going into self-quarantine.” despite returning from Sabah, where the Covid-19 cases were. high.
Chong was in Sabah recently to help campaign for the Warisan-Plus candidates in the recently concluded Sabah state elections.
