Another scam wasting public fund

It was quoted in Malaysikini that The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has once again turned its sights on the Transport Ministry by planning to look into the ministry's RM6 billion Ipoh-Rawang double-tracking project.PAC chairperson Azmi Khalid told reporters at Parliament today and the committee is presently investigating the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project, another controversial undertaking by the ministry.

The double-tracking project was highlighted in the 2008 Auditor-General's report as one that was poorly managed, thus resulting in losses amounting to RM1.4 billion. According to Azmi, the committee was briefed by Auditor-General Ambrin Buang on the annual report yesterday. He added that the transport ministry, under the stewardship of Ong Tee Keat, would be among the first to be called up as the double-track project was "the biggest mismanaged project". "The project has RM1.43 billion of cost overruns and we do not know the reasons behind it. So we want some explanation from the people involved," he said."We will also call the contractors, some of whom who belong to several government-linked companies," he added.He also revealed that the PAC will table its findings on the PKFZ probe in Dewan Rakyat next Wednesday.
So Azmi, what are you going to do about it? This is not the first time the PAC had investigated such mis-management yet no action was taken. All is possible in 1Malaysia, Malaysia Boleh country!
