My three questions (No.28 to No. 30 on the 10th day in the current series) to Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat on the RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal today are:
- Last December, Ong publicly said that the events surrounding the entry and exit of Jebel Ali Free Zone in the PKFZ project would be in the PwC full report. This is not the case – raising the question whether the PwC audit report that was released by the PKA Chairman, Datuk Lee Hwa Beng on May 28 is the full and uncensored PwC report. Malaysians are entitled to an unequivocal answer from Ong.
My invitation to Ong to the public forum on “RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal: Will Heads Roll?” at the KL Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, 10th June 2008 at 8 pm, stands.
He can ask for clearance from the Cabinet on Wednesday morning to give him the greenlight to attend the forum.
The speakers of the forum are:
- Tan Sri Dr Ramon Navaratnam – Transparency International Malaysia President
- Captain Yusof Ahmad – former pilot superintendent of the Klang Port Authority and pioneer general manager of West Port
- Teh Chi Chang – Economic Advisor to DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng
- Tony Pua – DAP Publicity Secretary, MP for PJ Utara
- Lim Kit Siang – DAP Parliamentary Leader, MP for Ipoh Timur
- Dr Tan Seng Giaw – DAP Deputy Chairman, PAC Deputy Chairman, MP for Kepong
Specially invited to the PKFZ scandal public forum is the Parliamentary Public Accounts (PAC) Deputy Chairman Dr. Tan Seng Giaw, as the PAC met twice on Sept. 6 and 25, 2007 on the PKFZ. At the time the PAC was chaired by Datuk Shahrir Samad.
Seng Giaw should be able to brief the public forum what the PAC had discovered during the its investigations into the PKFZ scandal in the previous Parliament and what the PAC in the present Parliament in doing about the PKFZ scandal, now that it has mushroomed further from a RM4.6 billion scandal into a RM12.5 billion monster.
