A building contractor has been called in for questioning today by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in relation to the state fund allocations in Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah's constituency of Seri Kembangan.

Yong (left) , who is the Seri Kembangan assemblyperson, told reporters that Lee had received a summons to assist in MACC's investigations last week, as Lee was reluctant to give a statement.

Lee was engaged in several small scale community construction projects in Yong's Seri Kembangan constituency.

This is the second time that Lee has been called in to give his statement.

The first occasion was on July 15 when he and several other contractors together with Yong's political aide Teoh Beng Hock were asked to go to the MACC office.

Teoh was found dead on the 5th floor landing of Selangor MACC building in Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam.

"The first time Lee was summoned he did not receive any notice what so ever but it looks like this time the MACC have learnt to follow procedures and regulation stipulated under the law," mocked Yong, who accompanied Lee.

Also present were Lee's lawyers Loi Kwong Fon and Tiew Way Key.

Confiscating amounting to theft

Yong also said that the authorities had confiscated the central processing unit (CPU) of Lee's computer on July 16 without any notice.

"This violates the Section 33 (3) of the MACC Act, which stipulates that a list of the things confiscated must be provided to the owner," said Yong, who was apparently outraged at the actions by MACC enforcement officers.

"Does this mean the MACC authorities can simply come into my house and confiscate my things without issuing a receipt of the items they had taken? What is the difference between stealing and confiscation then?" he asked.

Yong said that, the seizure of the CPU had halted Lee's work as he was not allowed to make a copy of the files on the computer.

"It appears that the MACC is more interested and more aggressive in investigating cases which are worth RM2,400 used to purchase 1,500 Malaysia flags and RM112 used to purchase a banner.

"Meanwhile (they are) neglecting serious allegations such as the (Mohd) Khir (Toyo's) palace which is worth RM24 million and the PKFZ (Post Klang Free Zone) which is worth RM125million," said Yong.

Lee's interview ended at 5.30 pm and he was asked about the events he had organised for Yong.

His lawyer Tiew said that he was co-operative and had "nothing to hide".

However, the lawyers were not allowed in but were seated outside the room and were able to observe the proceedings through a glass window.

According to Tiew, Lee was asked on the allocation and claims of the events that were organised by WSK Services in the Seri Kembangan Constituency.

They had also asked for Lee's CPU to be returned but the MACC retained it for further investigation.

Besides the CPU, Lee said his cheque book and several documents relating to the events were also confiscated by the enforcement officers on July 16.

Despite being interrogated for 5 hours, Lee has been asked to return tomorrow at 12 pm.
