Wee Ka Siong - The Missing Link

Wee Ka Siong - The Missing Link In The PKFZ - MCA debacle

From: I Love Malaysia

Everyone in MCA knows its National Youth Chief Wee Ka Siong is the mastermind behind efforts to topple Ong Tee Keat. Vegetarian Liow Tiong Lai doesn't have the smarts nor balls to do so unless somebody held his hands and cheered him on. Just ask any of the 20-odd central committee members who attended the Last Supper in Nikko Hotel on the eve where Brutus Liow was supposed to plant the dagger deep into OTK. Wee Ka Siong was seated next to the person everyone thought was president-in-waiting. And at the rate he was guiding LTL on what to say and do, one could almost see the Health Minister seated on his lap while WKS played the ventriloquist.

When historians one day revisit the 2009 MCA Fallout, they will all trace the roots to a stout man with bushy eyebrows. Experts in the Chinese art of face-reading will tell you that those with eyebrows that can double up as a household broom are conniving, cold-blooded, beasts. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. And a stout man is usually one who's impatient and addicted to power with an insatiable lust for women.

But why can't WKS sit tight and wait for his turn? To be fair, he's one of the bright stars that ever came MCA's way. He's eloquent in Malay, Mandarin and English; smart, has a mind of his own and has earned grudging respect from some Umno chaps. Hisa weakness: the Lust for power.

Again, everyone in MCA heard of Ka Siong's twin brother (Tiong) King Sing (they also share the same initials and body structure) . Not even the South China Sea can seperate the two abang-adik. They are like the ying and yang of Nature. They share the mantra "I scrub your back, you scrub mine, OTK stab you (Tiong) in the front, I (WKS) stab him in the back."

For Bintulu Mafia chief Tiong, the tipping point came when OTK resolved to recover some RM1.5 billion Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd overclaimed in the PKFZ project. As everyone knows, Kuala Dimensi is owned by Tiong. It's also a shell company used as a front to bankroll politicians like WKS, Khir Toyo, Chan Kong Choy and Khairy. Tiong is also the man who financed BN backbenchers to Taiwan to avert the September 16 Mass Defection last year.

Not many people know that WKS is also a direct beneficiary of the PKFZ largesse, courtesy of Tiong of course. WKS owns 47 per cent of Hijau Sekitar Sdn Bhd (240539-X), the subcon that was offered by KDSB a multi-million ringgit contract to study and implement traffic flow and control in PKFZ. Other subcons in the PKFZ project treated WKS like God for they know he's the go-between for TKS.

One of WKS's own aide in the Deputy Education Minister's office in Putrajaya is still under the payroll of Wijaya Baru Global Bhd, the parent company of KDSB. The Proton Wira he drives is registered under the company's name. The link doesn't end there. One Mr Lau, also a well-known blogger, whom WKS appointed into the Youth's vocational training bureau, is also under the payroll of Tiong King Sing.

In the private jet controversy surrounding OTK, it was WKS who set up the trap. He got OTK to hitch a ride with him on Tiong's jet from JB back to KL after attending DPM's dinner event. But months later, Tiong leaked flights details of OTK's entourage over the Internet and this was duly picked up by popular anti-establishment Mandarin news portal Merdeka Review. Details about WKS being in the flight was conveniently ommitted, although his aide's name appeared. Nobody would believe that the aide dared board the private jet without his boss' presence. But it doesn't matter - the smear against OTK worked like wonders.

Wee is also known to take Tiong's private jets on private trips, especially to Taiwan, his second home. The Department of Civil Aviation, which falls under OTK's Transport Ministry has all the details and OTK's spin doctors are waiting to leak them just before the next Cabinet reshuffle. The business deals WKS cut in Taiwan is astounding. His leisure activities there even more so. And who can forget the China girl sex scandal which almost cost his political career (http://www.voiceofmalaysian.com/2008/08/01/wee-no-truth-in-china-girl-sex-link-sms/) ? Those in JB knew the story is true to a fault and WKS is shitting bricks now because the girl is also scheduled to grant an exclusive interview to OTK-controlled The Star newspaper in time for the next Cabinet reshuffle.

But all these would have been unnecessary if WKS had just a little bit more patient. Like Anwar Ibrahim, his lust for power got the better of him when he saw the window of opportunity of getting rid of OTK. WKS, who holds a PhD on transportation from UTM, thought the Transport Minister's post was his for the taking when OTK is gone because of his seniority. (3 of the 4 MCA VPs are already Ministers while the 4th, Tan Kok Hong is an exco in Johor). WKS thought he could repay the debt of gratitude to Tiong and cover up the transgression of public trusts when he helms the Ministry. He thought he could kill two birds with one stone, but it was not to be - WKS's own political career is the one that will be killed due to his own folly.
