Action against PKFZ culprits? Najib non-committal

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak appeared non-committal today when asked if the government would act on the recommendations made by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.

Instead of giving a direct reply, Najib only said the government was looking into the matter and that it would not "cover up any weaknesses or offence committed”.

"We will consider taking legal action if there is a need," said Najib at a press conference in Parliament.

PAC, which released its report on the PKFZ scandal today, strongly suggested that the government investigate those responsible.

Those named by PAC include former Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy and former Port Klang Authority (PKA) general manager Datin Paduka O.C. Phang. - + selanjutnya
