The 405 hectare Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) transshipment hub that has been plague with financial scandals and poor management practices, is now the center of a heated debate as to how the scandal has been allowed to balloon to such unthinkable proportion. The initial financial outlay of RM 1.9 billion to develop PKFZ, can now grow to almost 12 billion (loan interest included).
With the release of the Price Waterhouse auditing report which shows damning mismanagement and massive financial irregularities, the game of denial can now be heard from those who are either directly or indirectly connected to the scandal.
The first to disclaim any role in the scandal is former Port Klang Authority Chairman and Deputy Finance Minister Chor Chee Heung, who said that all decisions regarding the acquisition of land and subsequent massive development of the PKFZ was decided before he was elected Non-Executive Chairman.
Even former MB Selangor Khir Toyo (he must have felt a sense of guilt) has declared that the BN state government then was not involved in the sale of the PKFZ land. If indeed, Khir Toyo and his former government was not involved, he need not come out to justify his innocence. Silence would have been better for him, at a time when so much of his wrong doings are slowly being exposed by the present Selangor state government.
On second thought, it is interesting to know whether Khir Toyo, at the time when he was the Selangor MB had known some of the problems faced by PKFZ, or was he completely in the dark over the problems. I would have thought that as the MB, he would have liked to be briefed constantly about this major development in the state, rather than not knowing at all.
The MACC is also being blamed for the scandal, for failing to act on 4 reports lodged by the opposition, according to DAP Assemblyman Ronnie Liu. He believe that the problem could have been arrested, if MACC had accentuated on the reports.
With the audit report out, and should MACC finds that there are evidences to prosecute the offenders, it will be interesting to see how the government will react when the offenders are politicians in their midst. This case will certainly be a test of the government's will of “not to leave any stones unturned'
CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION

It is a surprise that Tun Ling was not named in the report.
Datuk,
Why all reports that highligthed by opposition pers did'nt taken action by MACC? Why? As far I'm concerned there is a lot reports proceed to them by no action. Maybe they use this motto (NATO) No Action Talk Only!!!!
I just feel sad to see our country suffering scandal after scandal on a never-ending basis.
I am really fed-up with these people.If found guilty, they should be whipped 100 times in public and then put on the firing squad.
JUST LIKE BANK BUMI SCANDAL (TWICE BANKRUPT BANK - A WORLD RECORD) PERWAJA, TABUNG HAJI, EPF, BANK NEGARA, MV AGUSTA. WE HAVE SO MANY LAH
WHY BE SURPRISED!
ALL ARE CORRUPTED AND STAY THAT WAY, THE BIG FISH MUST NOT BE NAMED AND CANNOT BE CAUGHT...
IT IS A WASTE OF TIME TALKING ABOUT IT.
THE AG, POLICE, MACC WHO ARE THEY?
ALL BALACHI OF THE RULERS AND RULING PARTIES!
THIS COUNTRY HAS SELECTIVE LAWS TO PUNISH SELECTED INDIVIDUALS...SELECTIVELY...DON'T WASTE TIME TALKING FOLKS..ACTION TIME...NEXT PRU 13.
WE VOTE THEM OUTTTTTTTT.
SEND THEM INSIDE THE PUDU JAIL..ALL OF THEM MEAN BASTARDS, WHO CHEATED AND CONNED ALL OF US!
angjayaselangorThis is the best time for Najib to show his true leadership qualities when dealing with greedy and corrupted citizens. If Tun Lin and other BN leaders were not included in the report, we the Rakyats want to know and MACC has to explain.
Irrespective of their titles and positions, incuding even his own brother, Najib must be seen to exercise his wisdom to punish all those involved in this scandle. If Najib doen't do it, the Rakyats will punish him in the next General Election.
We, the Rakyats are watching.....
