Ti lauds report on MACC’s investigation

KUALA LUMPUR: An MCA central committee member has welcomed a report that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not found any evidence indicating Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has received RM10mil for party activities.

“We are glad with the speedy investigation by the commission,” said Datuk Ti Lian Ker in a statement.

The Star and Nanyang Siang Pau yesterday stated the commission had not found any evidence to indicate that Ong, the MCA president, had received RM10mil from Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd CEO Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing for party activities.

It was learnt that investigations by the commission have so far drawn a blank, and nothing had been uncovered to back Tiong’s allegation.

Tiong himself is being investigated by the police and the commission for fraud, including overcharging and unsubstantiated claims in the construction of the controversial RM4.6bil Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.

Ti, the MCA’s non-governmental organisation liaison bureau chief, said Ong’s management of the PKFZ fiasco should be lauded and given full support.
