Wong will go to MACC HQ after recovery

PETALING JAYA, Sat: State executive councillor Ronnie Liu's aide, who was discharged from the Serdang Hospital after seeking treatment for a leg injury last night, will go to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Putrajaya when he recovers.

Wong Chuan How, 51, sustained the injury after he fell while struggling with MACC officers enroute to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.

The incident occured at the Sungai Pelek DAP centre yesterday.

In a press conference at the DAP headquarters here today, Wong said that as a citizen, it was his obligation to cooperate with the authorities on any allegation, whatsoever.


"I am not a criminal, even though I was arrested by the MACC, I will continue to help in the MACC investigation and provide any proof or evidence (needed)," he said.

On Monday, MACC officers recorded Wong's statement for alleged abuse of allocations for Selangor state assemblymen.

Wong claimed that the three MACC officers who arrested him before he went to Sungai Pelek police station to lodge a report on his safety, did not identify themselves.

"They were so rude to us and didn't identify themselves, no badge and uniform and refused to give their names to me. They just grabbed without saying anything and took out the handcuffs.

"I was just trying to escape and told them that I wanted to make a police report, so I struggled with them to escape," he said.

Meanwhile, DAP leader Lim Kit Siang, who is also Ipoh Timur member of parliament, called on the MACC Advisory Board to discuss the excessive use of force on Wong by MACC officers. -- BERNAMA
