Let the public have access to the Report on PKFZ by the Special Task Force

DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw urges the Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat to let the public have full access to the Report by the Special Task Force on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ), so that they will know the actual situation.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government must consider the need for a Royal Commission to investigate the complicated matters of the PKFZ. It is a multibillion scandal. Are the discrepancies amounting to RM 930 million billed by Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd which is the developer for the project?

On 11.8.2009, Dr Tan comments on the findings of the Special Task Force report on the PKFZ.

It seems that the Force has discovered discrepancies in the bills of the developer, ranging between RM 500 million and RM 1 billion.

The Port Klang Authority (PKA) Chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng has lodged a police report on the matter today. The findings were announced by the Transport Minister yesterday.

Over the last six years, many things have happened to the PKFZ. The people are interested in the findings of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on it.

Tomorrow, the Public Account Committee (PAC) will be questioning the Attorney-General over his recommendations to the Cabinet on the PKFZ. For ecxample, he suggested that the Government acquired the land for PKFZ. Instead, PKA bought the land at a high market price.
