The PKFZ fiasco has entered an interesting phase. Yesterday, the Port Klang Authority (PKA) had filed a police report against KDSB, which has been accused of making inflated claims (between RM500 million to RM1 billion) in relation to the RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.
Twenty-four hours after a police report was lodged against developer Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB), the company's top brass have made some startling revelations.
KDSB chief executive officer Tiong King Sing - who is also the Barisan Nasional backbenchers club chairperson and Bintulu MP - alleged that he had 'donated' RM10 million to MCA president and Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat last year.
As for using the jet, Faizal told Malaysiakini that the company did not charge the MCA president any charter fee but added that the latter should have at least paid for fuel and other expenses amounting to US$40,000.
Ong's political secretary Simon Lim has rubbished the claim. "For expenses involving the minister's official travel, the relevant company must send the bill to the ministry to claim for payment," he explained.
Lim said the reason the minister had opted to use a chartered airplane was due to his tight schedule and to prevent being late. He added that Ong had also used other modes of travel, including no-frills airlines.
I have an advice for Tiong, the chairman of BNBBC and MP for Bintulu. He should report the RM10 million 'gift' to the MACC if he believes that the money was supposed to buy him favour from the newly minted transport minister. Otherwise, he should not try to deflect away attention from the current PKFZ fiasco involving his company.
I support Tony Pua's call for Tiong to resign as the chairman of BNBBC. Moreover, he should also resign as the MP of Bintulu if he wants to help protect the integrity of the parliament.
I have an advice for MCA President Ong Tee Keat too. He should fix up his traveling schedule so that the tax payers will not be burdened again for his inability to keep time. USD40,000 was an expensive sum to pay to help keep Ong right on his schedule. I rather he was late for his meetings than to pay that sum of money on his plane charters.
UPDATE:
However, kudos still goes to Ong for going ahead with the PKFZ disclosure. The culprits must be brought to justice.

By revealing the RM10m donation and $40k expenses, both Tiong and Faizal are indirectly admitting their wrongdoing!
Not only this BN backbencher Chairman (shame & disgusting) should resign, he is also encouraged to expose more insider jobs etc.
There are many Dato, Dato Seri, Datuk, Tan Sri or even Tun who are corrupted, druglords, Ah Longs or even suspected 'murders'......
I smell curry...OTK and LKS have made a police report on the safety of OTK..because OTK has promise to get down to the roots of PKFZ scandal.Now mr.Tiong claim that he donate RM10m to the MCA President.
They are all out to remove OTK from the MCA presidency and thereafter somebody will make alot of coverup.
Does every Malaysian understand....???????????????
"It's our "tax" payer's money..!"
Port war or "NOT"...!!!
While those rich and powerful clowns are enjoying billions and millions of the people's money, so many our poor folks with their children still live in pondok(malays),old village house(chinese),run-down attap house(indians) without water and electricity and many their children have a meal a day only.Do something Mr PM !!!
First,you scratch my back i scratch yours.Now when everything is upside down...you throw mud so I throw back to you.This is what Datuk Sri Tiong is reciprocating towards the MCA's President.I hope MACC would not keep silent in this sensational news.
This 'tak-tahu-malu' Tiong KING Sing thinks that he is the KING of PKFZ!!
The standard act of corrupted Malaysians is "u korek saya, saya korek balik u".........hahahahaha
Before the public disclosure, it was "u rub my back, I rub yours"
This is too much. I m not surprise at the allegations. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Looks like the craps are going to hit the ceiling fan. Yes, PM and MACC must clean up this corruption mess. This is one more chance for you to redeemn yourself. If you clean up this corruption mess you should stand a better chance at the next poll.RM12B is a lot of money. This is equivalent to 12,000 new millionaires.
Are ministers entitled to travel in private jets? As an ordinary Malaysian who's trying hard to earn enough to survive in this trying time, I'm surprised that ministers like OTK travel like a billionaire. Who does he thinks he is? Donald Trump?
Must be their way of life to give and take money
Act 1 Scene 1 has just come on stage and to be followed by many more acts and scenes. There will be dramatic plots ; sub-plots ; counter -plots; comedies; melodrama, hopefully no tradegy or the likes of tragic comedy to grace this Malaysian port FTZ. The people is eagerly awaiting the next scene, and can't wait for the curtain to rise for the next GE. By then would all the acts be wrapped up or made to disappear into a top-hat?
In the first place, thank god for The Sun team who exposed PKFZ irregularities. And also thank god for Lim Kit Siang who hounded MCA/BN for answers, in spite of being continually ridiculed. If not for LKS & DAP, PKFZ would have been 'under the carpet'. Let's not forget that OTK was initially very dodgy, and had lots of excuses and half-truths (until answers couldn't be avoided). And now claim heroics! Lam
Politicians all the smae mah... just u wait the pr only few months already greedy
