PETALING JAYA: A municipal councillor allegedly used a state exco member’s official letterhead and seal by writing his own letters of support to obtain contracts for his cronies and a family member.
It is alleged that the councillor, a DAP veteran, had secured contracts worth more than RM1mil for 20 companies from the council where he had been serving since July 2008.
Although the man — who has strong party connections — has no access to the exco member’s office now, he has, however, been reappointed as a councillor for a third term.
The councillor sits on several important committees — including the tender board — at the council, one of the biggest in the state.
Exco member Ronnie Liu has confirmed that his letterhead had been misused and that the local councillor was now being investigated by the party. However, members claimed internal action was “not enough”.
A party insider said the DAP was under pressure to lodge a report with the authorities.

Rings hollow isn't it. This reminds me of the old saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Pity those who choose this kind of dishonest people in.

Thief shouting thief. But, these are the slogan shouters claiming to be whiter than white. They see cronyism in others but not themselves.
Nonetheless, the PAS supporters will never be able to see through all the evil in them.
And they claim that there was 22 years of corruption? Here it's not even 5 years and already they are racing like the world's going to end tomorrow.
A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.
