The PKFZ project is a mega project. It is an important national project for sustainable economic development.
PKFZ, an integrated 400ha free commercial and industrial zone adjacent to Port Klang, houses various facilities such as warehouse, buildings and a four-star hotel.
It became controversial after it was revealed that the cost of development had shot up from RM2.5b to RM4.6b.
Ong Tee Keat
Ironically, the dispute arises from the quarreling in the open between the grown-ups and also leaders of political parties. The Port Klang Authority (PKA) has lodged a police report after a task force set up to investigate the controversy found billing discrepancies of between RM500m and RM1b to Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd, the turnkey contractor of the project and BTA Architects, the project's development contractor.
Tiong King Sing
Kuala Dimensi chief executive officer Tiong King Sing, meanwhile, claimed that he gave RM10m in donation to MCA through party president Ong Tee Keat last year. Ong, who is Transport Minister, denied the claim and said he would take legal action against Tiong.
The PKFZ dispute has become a major issue which attracted the attention as well as speculation among the people in the evaluation of the Barisan Nasional government.
Apparently, there is no single correct measure to the issue. But clearly, some measure ought to be taken more seriously by Barisan Nasional to satisfactorily resolve the crucial controversy.
By far, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin wants both the parties who are embroiled in a dispute over the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) issue to resolve the matter amicably seems to be the only absolutely effective solution to the issue.
