Met by reporters after the meeting, SUPP president Senator Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said “our stand is very clear” when asked whether there was any compromise.
Even though he did not clearly state the party’s stand, during SUPP’s annual delegates’ conference held last month the party resolved not to give away any state seat in the coming election.
Prior to stressing the party’s stand, Dr Sim said Adenan had instructed all leaders to keep mum about what transpired at the over two-hour meeting.
“Chief minister says it is closed door, so we cannot talk.”
Asked whether the meeting went well, he said: “Of course, otherwise we won’t be so happy, all smiling.”
As Dr Sim refused to comment further and seemed to be in a hurry, a reporter then asked if any good news could be expected in the near future, to which he said: “You wait lah.”
On the outcome of the meeting, he described it as positive, adding that “otherwise it won’t be so long.”
Asked if this would be the last meeting with Adenan, he said: “I don’t know when the next meeting is.”
Leaders of SUPP were seen entering Wisma Bapa Malaysia from 2pm. Dr Sim arrived at the building at about 2.30pm.
While the meeting was said to have begun at 3pm, Dr Sim and some 20 other SUPP leaders gathered at the lobby only at 5.40pm.
At about 5.20pm, SUPP deputy president Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem, who is also Human Resource Minister, was the first to be seen at the lobby.
However, he declined to offer any comment, asserting that the president should be the one speaking to the press.
When pressed, Riot, who is Serian MP, only said it was a “long meeting”, “marathon meeting” which lasted over two hours.
