Is it a crime to false claim?

This is the second case of 'ignorant' or 'deliberate' claim as an MCA's Divisional Chairman.

He was the Divisional Chairman prior to the last party election in May 2008, but unfortunately, he lost his title to one Mr. Jack Tsen Xiang Ru.

Question is : why all of a sudden former Divisional Chairman dares to openly make statement claiming as if he's still in charge of the division? Is it done on purpose? Is it done with 'consent' from some 'higher-up' judging from their blatant action?

I think it should be classified as a criminal act if it's turned out to be a deliberate action of his own. This is tantamount to cheating the public, and an act tarnishing the image of the party.

The party's disciplinary committee should look into this serious matter as it has become 'rampant' recently.

It was last Sunday that former Tuaran Divisional Chief, Mr. Tan Kim Beng, 'claimed' he is the Chairman of MCA Tuaran
Division!
