New Transport Minister Kong Contradicts Himself on PKFZ

Signs are not good for those who wanted some accountability over the PKFZ financial scandal. The newly minted transport minister Kong Cho Ha has contradicted himself on the first day in office.

When asked about the investigation, Kong Chor Ha has deemed the probe into the PKFZ scandal as being 'sufficient', also saying there is no need for the issue to be re-examined.

"I think enough investigations and studies have been done on that issue. So, I don't think there is need to (re-examine) the investigation," he said today.

He was also ambiguous as to whether he would follow up on the issue.

In the same breath, he denied knowing enough about the scandal. He said, "I also have to know exactly what the PKFZ is about".

How can he assume that the investigation is sufficient if he does not know enough about the scandal or probe?

K0ng has to be reminded that people's expectations of the investigation is very high. Nothing short of a full disclosure is going to satisfy the people. Why should people pay high prices through subsidy cuts while the government is allowed to let such a mammoth financial scandal go unpunished?

Is Barisan going to sell their assets and shares to reimburse the public for the financial losses incurred in the scandal?

Kong's tenure will be shortlived if he does not provide us with a good answer. Who is going to pay the RM 15 billion bill?

This guy doesnt have any clue of his work as a minister since day one. This is the very reason our PeeeeM put him in charge of PKFZ fiasco. A dumb dumb who knows nothing. End of the day, he will dilly dally for a year and finally decide not enough evidence, case closed, as usual.
It was rather really amazing when this guy said the current investigation on PKFZ is "sufficient" when in actual fact he does not have a clue of what is PKFZ fiasco is all about. He must either grab his words from thin air and thought the rakyat is naive and stupid like him. Perhaps this is how BN/UMNO politicians work la. God help the rakyat.

Khoo, do you seriously believe that anything would come about the re-examination and further digging into the PKFZ? Dun u realise that the whole episode has gone quiet? 12 Billion... u cant imagine how many schools and hospitals and homes can be built with that sort of money!

It's obvious that the very purpose of the removal of OTK as minister of transport and the subsequent appointment of Kong in his place is to cover the PKFZ scandal as the 'mother of all scandals'.

With Kong's appointment, the issue will be put to eternal rest to avoid further public scrutiny and exposure.

The voter should make MCA pay for all these atrocities come next general elections. How can MCA claim to protect the interests of the Chinese community when it can not even protect the greater interests of the nation and its Rakyak. What non-sense?

There you are, KKP. MCA & the whole lot of BN people are all mother-xxxxx parasites. What are they really good at? Sigh... of course is to suck & suck & suck & suck the stupid rakyat high and dry and even their own parents will never be spared if need to.
This BN must be sent to eternal HELL come this GE13!

He not only look like a fool but is actually a fool. This is the kind of 'quality' from MCA.

It doesn't bode well for the party in the next GE.

Remember this guy Kong Cho Ha, P074 Lumut.

He can very well recalled he won by what majority in 2008, after romping home with a 11,500 majority in 2004. If he cannot remember, well, he won with a 298 majority in 2008. Malaysians, let us ensure that this bunch of weirdos in MCA be wiped out come the next GE. They still have 15 Parliamentary seats, let us start right now, identify the candidates to take them on. Start working now. BN must be wiped out to save the country from such massive corruptions.

Those are mainly mixed seats with a high percentage of Malay voters, put in a PAS candidate to take them on, if PAS can secure 40% of the Malay votes, MCA will be history. The same applies to MIC and Gerakan. Such political parties that serve their own interests must be wiped out. No more to racial politics. And do not ever let the BN divide and rule us anymore. Enough is enough.

MCA, MIC and Gerakan must be wiped out come the next election, we cannot allow them to act as the shield to protect UMNO Baru's misdeeds.

The PKFTZ is not a small matter
but a big issue which should be made accountable to the people.

Having a new hand on the matter is not going to solve the issue.

Furthermore, this new hand knowingly or unknowingly declared that he had yet to understand the issue.

Any knowing person would want to know the truth not who they are sending for the next act.

Looks like PKFZ files are headed for the 'cold case' department.

One thing I must say about Datuk Kong - He showed more resolve in burying this issue than Datuk Ong was - trying to get to the bottom of things.

Note: If it's buried, it can still be dug out. C4? That's another issue.

Why the oppositions are acquiescing on this issue?

Ronnie Liew was outspoken on this PKFZ issue before the 03/08 GE. ZZZZ after being elected and becoming one of them?

Dey! Ronnie Liew! Where are you?

DAP is just another pathogen!
