MIRI: Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Piasau Youth chief Tan Lek Jin with several other youth leaders have filed a police report on Sunday against former Pujut assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon over his slanderous Facebook post concerning rural road projects in Sarawak.

Tan said the police report was lodged at Miri Police Central Station (CPS) and they are seeking for the police to investigate Dr Ting for posting fake photos on his Facebook to tarnish the image of the Sarawak government led by the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and its components parties.

“The photos that he (Dr Ting) used in his post are fake and an attempt to fracture the people in Sarawak,” said Tan.

In the post, Dr Ting, who is currently in Australia, claimed that rural road projects in the state are being carried out indiscriminately.

“The photos (showing several people at an unidentified sloppy construction site repairing potholes) he uploaded are fake; misleading the rakyat,” Tan said.

He added that the photos were taken from the website of another country.

“We hope the police would investigate Dr Ting’s actions; spreading fake photos that are meant to tarnish the image of the Sarawak government,” he said.
