MACC starts probe on RM10 million donation to Tee Keat

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 3 – Beleaguered MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat was questioned for three hours today by anti-graft officers over allegations that he took a RM10 million cash donation from Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.

The probe by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) follows accusations from Tiong, who controls Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB), the turnkey contractor for the scandal-hit Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.

Besides the RM10 million allegation, which Ong has denied, KDSB has also revealed that the transport minister took free rides on the company’s private jets.

Tiong’s attacks suggest the two once had a cozy relationship even though KDSB was being probed by the government over the PKFZ project.

But Tiong, who is also Barisan Nasional Backbenchers chief, began his attacks against Ong after the minister’s task force began blaming KDSB for the massive cost overruns faced by the PKFZ. - + selanjutnya
