Tee Keat okays 300 copies of PKFZ report to be sent to Parliament
PETALING JAYA: Every Member of Parliament will receive a copy of the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) audit report from the Transport Ministry.
According to a statement on www.pkfznews.com.my, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat had agreed to distribute 300 copies of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Position Review on PKFZ, including the appendices, which run into hundreds of pages.
“This follows a request on June 12 from the Parliament Secretary, and Ong has decided to meet the request in the name of transparency and accountability.”
The statement said the copies are being printed and will be sent to Parliament by this afternoon.
“It will be up to Parliament (to decide) when the copies will be distributed to the MPs.”
The PwC report has been made public in its entirety, and is accessible online since its release on May 28.
Copies of the appendices were also available for public viewing over a two-week period in the Port Klang Authority office.
Copies of the report, plus the appendices, were furnished to all members of the Public Accounts Committee during its hearing recently.
Last Wednesday, Ong announced the formation of a special task force to look into issues raised by the report.
Two committees, an ad-hoc corporate governance committee to oversee the Port Klang Authority and an executive committee to revive the PKFZ project, were formed on that day.
The website www.pkfznews.com.my, also launched that day, is to be the primary source of online information to the public on PKFZ.
