KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 (Bernama) -- Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing on Wednesday lodged a police report to counter accusations levelled against him by Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
Tiong lodged the report at the Dang Wangi police station around 11 am, accompanied by a lawyer. But the report was then forwarded to the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.
Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed confirmed receiving the report when contacted by Bernama.
"Initially he made the report at Dang Wangi station...and then came over to PJ station because he (Tiong) explained that the incident happened around this area," Arjunaidi said.
Tiong, Bintulu Member of Parliament and National Backbenchers Club chairman, is also believed to have surrendered several documents to the police, which are deemed to be crucial proof of his handing over RM10 million to Ong for MCA's use.
The money is said to have been given in installments at the PJ Hilton Hotel in Petaling Jaya.
On Monday, Ong had filed a RM500 million suit against Tiong for defaming him. Ong, who is also MCA president, filed the suit at the High Court registry in Jalan Duta through the law firm of Messrs Tan, Goh & Associates.
He claimed that Tiong, the executive director of Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB), had issued a defamatory statement about giving him RM10 million, which was published in the Malaysiakini website on Aug 12.
