Ex-port boss launches book on PKFZ scandal


MCA male Lee Hwa Beng suggests which a giveaway investigation is probable only with a shift of government
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Port Klang Authority (PKA) arch Lee Hwa Beng currently launched a book chronicling a Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) plan from a time it was mooted in 1997 until recently, when it had already become a equivalent term for corruption.
Lee co-wrote PKFZ: A Nation's Trust Betrayed with former publisher Lee Siew Lian. In it, he shares a insights he gained as PKA chairman between 2008 as good as 2011 as good as his contribution to a crime investigations.
Lee told his assembly during a launch which a book contained just a fragment of what was left to be pronounced of a liaison as good as suggested which a indeed eccentric investigation would need a shift of government.
"There have been most unanswered questions regarding a plan which were still unanswered as good as there is more to be unravelled as good as unearthed," he said.
"In a ride ministry, there were so most things which happened, which we won't know about, which might not be suggested in a justice cases. Only a military as good as Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission [MACC] have a power to dig these out."
Lee, a member of MCA, served as a state assemblyman for Subang Jaya between 1995 as good as 2008. In a final ubiquitous election, he contested for a Kelana Jaya parliamentary seat, but lost to newcomer Loh Gwo Burne of PKR.
To date, six people have been charged in justice over a scandal. They embody former MCA president Dr Ling Liong Sik as good as his inheritor as ride minister, former MCA deputy arch Chan Kong Choy. Both have bee! n indict ed of lying to a Cabinet.
The mainstream media have most taken a PKFZ liaison out of a limelight given a trials began as good as following Ong Tee Keat's dismissal from a MCA presidency in 2010 as good as his abdication as ride apportion in a same year.
Ong was during a book launch, as was DAP strongman Lim Kit Siang.
"As recounted by Hwa Beng's book, after a PwC [PriceWaterhouseCoopers] report, a prime apportion [Najib Tun Razak] announced a setting up of a Super Task Force on a RM12.5 billion PKFZ liaison in Sep 2009, headed by a Chief Secretary to a Government, Mohd Sidek Hassan," Lim said.
"What has happened to this PKFZ Super Task Force? Two as good as a half years later, Najib has not released even an iota of news with courtesy to a activities as good as findings, if any, of this Super Task Force. But as Hwa Beng's book shows, there have been most people associated with this liaison who have not been scrupulously called to account."
Ong pronounced a supervision had failed to assure taxpayers which a funds lost in a liaison could ever be recovered.
"As a immediate past apportion of ride who was responsible for commissioning a thorough as good as eccentric probe in to a PKFZ scandal, certainly I am carefree which a hard work put in by a ad hoc cabinet assigned to examine a alleged wrongdoings or a anomalies identified by a PwC Report would not go to waste."
Lim pronounced a RM12.5 billion lost in a liaison could be used to "build 25 universities during RM500 million each, 125 hospitals during RM100 million each, 1,250 schools during RM100 million each, 312,500 low-cost houses during RM40,000 any or to give ev! erybody of a twenty-seven million Malaysians in any case of age a payout of RM338".
"Only a royal elect of inquiry, where prior ride ministers, PKA chairmen as good as house members, as good as a relevant supervision officials in a ride method as good as finance method have been summoned to attest on their role can do justice for burden as good as integrity in this liaison of scandals," he said.
He pronounced Pakatan Rakyat would settle such a elect of exploration if it done it to Putrajaya with a coming ubiquitous election.
