Tee Keat... Where's the PKFZ reports for MPs?

By Jeff Ooi,

June 15, MCA-owned newspaper The Star quoted a statement on www.pkfznews.com.my and reported that Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat had agreed to provide every Member of Parliament a copy of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Position Review on PKFZ, including the appendices.

Reportedly, 300 copies of the report were to have been sent to the Parliament by June 15, following a request on June 12 from the Parliament Secretary.

June 22, Minister Ong reiterated that the 300 copies of the PwC report had been sent to the Parliament, and it was up to the Secretariat to distribute it to the MPs.

The current Parliament session will end tomorrow. But the said report has not been to us MPs.

SUMMON TO TESTIFY. Meanwhile, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), an instrument of the Parliament, will summon four personalities involved in the PKFZ scandal to testify in an investigation within the next two weeks.

The foursome are Ling Liong Sik, Chan Kong Choy, Ong Tee Keat -- all are MCA presidents at some point in time -- and Tiong King Sing, the CEO of Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB) and Barisan Nasional Backbenchers club chairman.

However, one woman was missed out in the PAC summon for testimony.

OC Phang, the chairman of PKFZ cum Port Klang Authority (PKA) general manager who served the said three Transport Ministers (read: MCA Presidents) throughout the material time PKFZ was being cooked, was not called.

We really want to know through OC Phang if it was Ling, or Kong Choy, who had signed away the government's rights by issuing letters of support, or letters of guarantee, to underwrite risks of the project falling through.

Will Tee Keat hang his two ex-Presidents to dry in order to save MCA from the quandary?
