I refer to the malaysiakini report Chan dodges questions on PKFZ scandal .

Instead of focusing on crushing and destroying the future of the young Malaysian student Wee Meng Chee, shouldn't the government be concentrating on the white elephant which the RM4.6 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) is in danger of becoming?

This scandal has many dubious transactions, some of which must be investigated by the police, ACA and the AG's Chambers and the culprits brought to book. Malaysians have been waiting for an explanation and action but our patience is wearing thin.

Numerous reports on the PKFZ already appeared in the online media a few months earlier while police reports have been made by an opposition member as early as 2004. The mainstream print media highlighted the story a week ago. However, we still do not have any answers from the government.

If the government persists in its persecution of the young Malaysian student, it will only reinforce the perception that it is an uncaring government insensitive to the problems facing its youths and people.

If the government maintains its deafening silence on the PKFZ affair, it will only confirm the suspicions that there will be a cover-up of serious improprieties and a major bailout using taxpayers' money.

Any talk of transparency, accountability and fight against corruption by the government will sound very hollow indeed.
