No need for Opposition to raise a ruckus, says Khairy
KUALA LUMPUR: There is no need for Opposition MPs to raise the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) issue in Parliament because the Government is seriously pursuing investigations into the matter, said Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said the Transport Ministry had formed a special task force and two committees to handle the issue following the release of the PKFZ audit report.
Khairy, who is Rembau MP, said the committees should be allowed space to conduct their investigations and present their findings.
“Why must the Opposition raise it in Parliament because procedures are actually being followed. No one is sweeping anything under the carpet.
“I’m sure opposition leaders like (Ipoh Timor MP) Lim Kit Siang will want to go on a publicity stunt by raising it in the House, and he will conveniently ignore the fact that the Government is already looking into the issue,” he told The Star after an Umno Youth meet-the-people session at the Kerinchi flats here yesterday.
Khairy was asked on the possibility that the Dewan Rakyat, which reconvenes today, will be raucous with accusations by Opposition MPs of government impropriety over the PKFZ issue.
