"How can a minister beg stupidity over a RM3.9 billion scandal right underneath his nose?" asked Pua, who is also a Petaling Jaya Utara MP.

Yesterday, Pua released a make a difference saying his dissatisfaction over Kong'scurt created replyin Parliament to a subject upon because KLIA2 was relocated from a creatively due northern site, dubbed KLIA North, to a stream horse opera site (KLIA West).

Since December, Pua has been hounding a supervision upon a issue, divulging that KLIA2 was unsuitable as an airfield site since partial of it is a peat swamp, that partly contributed to its building a whole billrocketingfrom RM1.7 billion to RM3.6 billion.

"(Pua) should direct subject about a building a whole of KLIA2 to MAHB instead of accusing (us) of trying to cover up," pronounced Kong.

Full audit needed
Kong combined that he had zero to censor as well as was not an airfield engineer. He pronounced whatever information he has about a plan came from MAHB.

Responding to this, Pua pronounced Kong cannot beg stupidity since a Transport Ministry secretary-general Long See Wooi was sitting upon MAHB's board.

Furthermore, a method is a regulating agency for airports as well as a aviation industry must be competent enough to know because MAHB was authorised to relocate KLIA2, causing a large price overrun.

"Is Kong claiming that his secretary-general is sleeping upon his job as well as has no idea over a underlying reason for a price explosion over a KLIA2 project?

"Or do they consider that a amount of income is so pardonable that it doesn't necessitate a full audit as well as move to book those who have been negligent, purposely or otherwise?" he said.

In perspective of a debt that MAHB has to undertake in order to encounter KLIA2's increasing cost, Pua pronounced he would not be astounded if airfield taxes have been hiked in a future to promote this.
