Local Government and Housing Minister Dr Sim Kui Hian says he has been wrongly accused of 'controlling' allocations for food assistance. FMTNews DAP

Sarawak minister Dr Sim Kui Hian says he will take legal action after he was criticised by state DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen and his aide Michael Kong.

Local Government and Housing Minister Dr Sim Kui Hian Sim accused the DAP leaders of going overboard with their attacks against him “without basis and without verifying the facts beforehand”. Chong had also reportedly accused the state and federal governments of depriving people staying in opposition areas of food assistance last week.

In a statement today, Sim said funding for food assistance was given by the Sarawak government to all divisional disaster management committees and not to the assemblymen’s service centres.
