PUTRAJAYA, Jan 28 — MCA Youth chief Datuk Wee Ka Siong (picture) today lashed out at his political enemies within the party for implicating him in the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.

“They are using the newspapers and instigating non-government organisations (NGOs) and the opposition to lodge reports against me.” said the deputy education minister who declined to name those responsible for the onslaught of allegations.

Yesterday, Seremban MP John Fernandez lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against Wee, handing over a five-page statement complete with an appendix running to almost 200 pages.

He claimed Wee had a conflict of interest when doing work for the scandal-hit PKFZ while he was a deputy minister. Fernandez said Wee should be investigated for any improprieties and also the status of his shareholdings in consultancy firm Hijau Sekitar Sdn Bhd, where he is a substantial shareholder despite his denials.

Wee’s consultancy, together with four other firms, had been commissioned by Wijaya Baru Sdn Bhd to do a study on the need for port development in Port Klang. Wijaya Baru is the parent company of Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd, which was in charge of the controversial billion-ringgit PKFZ project.

Wee today said he did not blame Fernandez for raising the issue which was based on inaccurate newspaper reports. Inaccurate newspaper reports ? This pig only snorts !! Fernandez report is based on the SSM print out that says you still have or own 49999 shares in your company out of 100000 shares . Sorry lah you are fighting your own shadows ! Just can't understand how they can make you a Dep.Education Minister when you can't even talk something logic . What you have been saying all these while , is nonsense and keep on repeating nonsense .

All the time what these people have been saying is very clear that according to the SSM records , you still own 49999 shares in your company Hijau Sekitar Sdn Bhd , and all these while you have been saying you have disposed of your shares in the company to be amended later on by you that you do not have a controlling stake in the company which the records show otherwise ! So which is correct and stop blaming others in and out of MCA . Aiyoh can't help people with piggy brains like you , after all nothing unusual since you talk , act, look like a pig , not only a pig , but a fat arse idiotic pig .

He said that his firm was tasked with carrying out the work in 2004 and 2005, and he was only appointed a deputy minister in 2008.

“I also never denied that I did not have substantial stakes in the consultancy. What I did say in previous press conferences was that I had sold a majority stake in the company.”

Wee also played clips of his previous press conference on Dec 24 to prove that he was misquoted.

“It’s an hour long and in three languages for all those who want to view it.”

He also made available his assets declarations on three occasions, including while he was MP and after he was appointed a deputy minister.

Wee pointed out that both the PricewaterhouseCoopers report on PKFZ and the special task formed to investigate the spiralling cost of the project made no mention of his involvement.

Yesterday’s report was not the first time allegations were made against Wee.

Last week, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) adviser Tan Sri Robert Phang urged Wee to co-operate with the graft-busters over similar claims of Wee’s involvement with PKFZ but his press conference was cut short when Wee’s lawyers came in and served Phang with a court injunction barring him from elaborating further.

Wee today produced a formal apology from DAP vice-chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz who, in a letter published in The Sun yesterday, admitted that he had been totally wrong in his conclusion about Wee’s behaviour.

“I have been less fair to him in the circumstances and I owe it to his sense of fairness and honour to admit my mistake of inputting an improper motive to an innocent person,” Tunku Aziz had written.

Wee said Tunku Aziz had also personally called him and added that he was touched by the gesture of someone who was older than him.

While Wee declined to name the individuals involved in the conspiracy against him, he hinted it was common knowledge.

“You understand.” he said adding that the allegations against him surfaced only in October last year.

This was when an MCA Emergency General Meeting (EGM) was held. The tussle for the party’s leadership is still on-going.

“They are out to get me but I will not be shaken.” he said.

Wee this is your KARMA !
