Yen Yen Are you with us or not with us?

IN Politics there's No On The Fencing , Either you are With Us or Not with Us


Allegiance and loyalty in question

Let's trace back history to find out what sort of a person is our current Tourism Minister . She has a tendency of being disloyal to the one and to the party who has made her what she is today .

She has yet to come out openly to support the President , the one who submitted her name for her to become what she is today , ie the Tourism Minister . She is a Minister by virtue of the fact that the President has confidence in her loyalty which is surprisingly absent today .

She has not been seen in the President's entourage during the roadshows .

She has not been seen during the President's press conferences .

She has not been seen during the recent Central Committee meeting which deliberated on the sacking of CSL which was rescind to that of suspension .

The Ministership post belongs to MCA and not to anyone individual . She serves at the pleasure of the Party and not to anyone one .

So my question to you Ng Yen Yen " Are You With Us or Not With Us ?

Are you telling us you are with him ? the Pornstar ?











"Are you with us or not with us ?" This is a side-dish to intra-MCA squabbles.


So let me bring back this story which the Sun on a Page 2 story sometime back in 2003 posted about her loyalty which incidently I am also asking her the same thing right now ! :

Deputy Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Datuk Ng Yen Yen was a permanent resident of Australia when she took the oath of loyalty to King and country when she was appointed a senator more than nine years ago.

She was a director from April 1992 until she resigned in May 1995. Ng took her oath of office as a senator in August 1993, but nine months earlier she had declared herself as a permanent resident of Australia in documents filed with the Australian authorities.

In her resignation letter to the board of directors, she gave her full name as "Senator Dr Ng Yen Yen". The 1992 profile of the directors describe Ng as "a Malaysian qualified and registered medical practitioner".

"She has been living in Australia for approximately three years... and has undertaken substantial business activities concerned with the import of intellectual properties and commodities," the documents said.

Apparently, Ng had first refused comment when confronted after the expose by The Sun, she had also refused to reveal when she gave up her permanent residency when contacted by a portal yesterday afternoon for comment on a set of documents obtained by the online newspaper. It is understood that the documents showed she was an Australia PR between 1992 and 1995.

She had merely admitted to holding the status in 1995, but denied that she still has it. However, she promised to give all the facts at a press conference "to be held soon". Hours later, Ng decided to release a press statement last night, as follows :

"Dr Ng Yen Yen today denied she is a permanent resident of Australia following accusations from a rival party leader which questioned her loyalty to the country. She, however admitted to holding the status between 1990 and 1995.

"Ng said she had obtained the status to facilitate her frequent travelling to Australia to look after her three sons who were in their early formative years and studying there.

"My husband and I realised the need to be with them as frequently as possible to ensure the parental bonding within the family, as well as to ensure that they develop a strong value system and strength of character. The PR status enabled me to achieve this (need to be there for them).

"She said she revoked her permanent residency in 1995, in her second year of senatorship, as she need not travel to Australia that frequently anymore. Thus, she said the question of her 'dual citizenship' does not hold anymore."

Documents obtained differs little from the one revealed by The Sun, which indicated that Ng was an Australian resident director of a New South Wales-based company, Indo Pacific Securities Limited, beginning April 1992. The other directors of the stockbroking firm were two Malaysian residents, businessman Soh Chee Wen, former Air Force chief (retired) General Mohamed Ngah Said, and two Australian residents, Phillip Winter and Perter McCulloch. (The Australian Corporations Law requires all Australian public companies to have at least three directors, with at least two being Australian residents.)

In the documents, Ng described herself as a businesswoman with her Australian address in Tusmore, a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia.

Ling - Soh - Yen Yen Alliance. None of the reports mentioned about Ng's business ties with Soh. But for once, interesting things seem to pop out that will whet the appetite of those trying to piece together the complex web of relationships among present and former MCA leaders.

The Sun in Jan 24 reported that Ex-Transport Minister Dr Ling Liong Sik offered to procure the country's original survey maps as part of a business deal involving his former political protege, Soh Chee Wen. Austrian businessman, Franz Christoph Heldwein, 50, made this and other allegations in a police report he lodged against both Ling and Soh yesterday. The deal, he said, also involved Ling's son, Hee Leong.

Meanwhile, the Ling - Soh dispute has yet to settle, and the Yen Yen - Soh business ties are being unearthed. The plot thickens.

Ng must be brought to task on a pertinent point that Nadeswaran raised: Was Ng's taking the oath of loyalty to King and country morally and legally valid when she had held an Australian PR at the material time as she was being sworn in as a Malaysian Senator?

We have not seen the last yet, have we?
