Sand-mining inquiry: Kapar MP to submit evidence

By Stephanie Sta Maria - Free Malaysia Today,

FMT ALERT SHAH ALAM: Kapar MP S Manikavasagam this morning arrived at the second day of a public inquiry on allegations of graft in Selangor's sand-mining industry to deliver evidence of his allegations.
Manikavasagam, who had said earlier that he would not be testifying before the Select Committee for Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat), is expected to hand over his evidence to Selcat chairman Teng Chang Khim, who is also the state legislative assembly speaker.
The MP had previously cited parliamentary rules that required him to be granted leave from the Dewan Rakyat in order to attend the Selcat public hearing.
He had unexpectedly showed up yesterday – the first day of the inquiry – to deliver evidence of his allegations but was told to return today as five witnesses were already scheduled to testify.
While he was greeted by a small group of supporters when he arrived yesterday, today there was only a handful of them and no banners.
At 10.15am, Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo Burne arrived and both Manikavasagam and him reviewed the evidence that the latter will present to Teng later. The evidence includes documents and VCDs.
