She was accompanied by her husband, Datuk Lim Twee Yong, and lawyer Ng Aik Guan.
Today, she also made a request through her lawyer, to be supplied with documents related to her case.
She left the court building after 20 minutes.
The date for her trial will be fixed on Mar 26.
Last month, Phang along with PKFZ turnkey contractor Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd’s (KDSB) chief operating officer Stephen Abok and architect Bernard Tan Seng Swee of BTA Architect were charged with criminal breaches of trust and cheating amounting to about RM380mil.
Also charged was former KDSB project director Law Jenn Dong, for allegedly making 24 fraudulent claims totalling RM116.85 million.
So far, it is unclear if prominent Barisan Nasional (BN) politicians such as former transport minister Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy or BN Backbenchers chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, who controls KDSB, will face any action.
The PKFZ controversy arose after the cost to develop the massive 400-hectare integrated cargo distribution hub spiralled from RM2 billion to RM4.6 billion.
Late last year, the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) had recommended that, among others, both Phang and Chan be investigated for criminal breach of trust.
