ALLEGATION CASE STUDY
It was originally budgeted at RM1.1 billion (then around
US$300 million) but the construction bill mysteriously
quadrupled to RM4.6 billion (US$1.2 billion) by 2007 when
the project was completed.
In 2008, an audit by accounting firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers commissioned by then-transport
minister Ong Tee Keat concluded that the total cost of the
project could balloon to RM12.5 billion, after factoring in
interest payments.
The incident sparked public outcry, made headlines for
years and became campaign fodder for the Malaysian
opposition for at least two federal elections but still led to
no conviction.

3) Former Kuala Dimensi Project Manager Law Jenn
Dong
4) Architect Bernard Tan Swee Seng
5) Kuala Dimensi chief operating officer Stephen Abok
The three men had pleaded not guilty on Nov 8, 2010, to
24 counts of cheating OSK Trustees Bhd for payment of
RM116.85 million to Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB) for
two projects at PKFZ.
Court held:
The Sessions Court acquitted and discharged three
individuals charged with cheating in the construction
of the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project without
calling for their defence.
Reality Check
This affair is one of the many examples from the
present administration that reveals conflict of interest,
corruption and mismanagement involving politicians,
business interests and public officials,
Lings acquittal showed that Malaysia was no closer to
identifying the culprit behind the losses resulting from
the mega project, the cost of which had ballooned
from RM1.1 billion to RM4.6 billion in 2007.
It shows the whole system not talking
about any particular person the failure
of the whole system of integrity and
accountability
This implication shows that Malaysia
has never been high on accountability,
integrity, transparency, justice and truth
Conclusion
The incident sparked public outcry, made headlines
for years and became campaign fodder for the
Malaysian opposition for at least two federal elections
but still led to no conviction.
