21 April, 2009
The Malaysian Insider reports, here, that the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will seek clarification again from the parties responsible for the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project whose cost is said to be exorbitant. New chairman Azmi Khalid said the PAC would call within two weeks all those responsible for the “RM1.8 billion-odd” project.
RM1.8 billion? Whatever happened to the RM3 billion?
In 2007, the PAC then headed by Shahrir Samad had summoned the parties involved for an explanation but “there are still matters to be explained further,” he said.
If I can recall, Shahrir Samad had failed to summon the Attorney General for his take on the dubious land deal and the subsequent RM4.6 billion government bailout. (“Take” here means his versionlah). The audit report by Price Waterhouse Coopers is ready but Transport Minister Ong Tee Kiat has said, here, that it is up to the Klang Port Authority whether they want to release the report or otherwise.
Passing the buck, if you please. I am really getting pretty tired of this sandiwara.
Any bets that nothing will come out of this?
