Let us have the PKFZ report immediately

DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw presses the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib to make the originalversion of the Price Water House report on the Klang Port Free Zone (PKFZ) available to the public immediately.

Even if the government let us have the report today, it still does not explain the delay.

Dr Tan comments on Najib's statement to seek additional information on the PKFZ on 27.5.2009. and that the date for making it public is yet to be fixed.

Even if the report is released today, it is still very late, let alone the Government dragging its feet for a few more days.

The people are unhappy. There is a mystery surrounding the land in Pulau Indah, the land price skyrocketing and, possibly, the cost going up from RM 1.84 billion to RM 4.6 billion or more. Let us have the truth.

Truly, there are reasons to develop the PKFZ in Klang. But, the lack of transparency and accountability makes the public wonder. Port of Klang is number 16 in the world, aspiring to go higher. Hence, its development and management should be world-class.

Since the Cabinet has given the green light, let us have the report in its entirety.

Dr Tan Seng Giaw
