Tee Keat denies taking RM10 million from fellow BN man
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat was forced today to deny allegations that he had received a RM10 million donation last year from Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB) CEO Tiong King Sing, who is also Barisan Nasional (BN) backbenchers club chairman.
However, he confirmed he had used the private jet owned by KDSB, the turnkey contractor for the scandal-hit Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project but he said his office was waiting to be billed for the services.
The allegations made by Tiong will certainly give BN a headache and is the last thing a beleaguered MCA already wracked by infighting needs.
The disclosure by Tiong, who is treasurer for Sarawak’s SPDP, came after PKFZ’s special task force said this week it had found disputed claims amounting to at least RM500 million.
Yesterday PKA chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng lodged a police report against KDSB and another party over the disputed claims.
Tiong made the startling disclosure today that he had donated RM10 million to Ong and that he was told the money was to be used for MCA’s division activities.
