The invitation to you to visit Pemata was not retracted. We plan to host your visit this week.

Within three days after the visit, Yeo must agree to hold a press conference inviting all media and she in return must agree to explain in detail on the DAP multi-billion ringgit controversy as pointed out below. We request that your officer contact our undersecretary office to finalise the arrangements.

I highlight again that DAP does not have a monopoly to demand transparency. It is also my right to ask Yeo to explain in details with documents on Penang projects since billions of ringgit in state funds are involved.

Yeo now claims that the state PAC report on the Penang tunnel will be tabled in November but does not mention that since a year ago, two prior deadlines were missed.

Perhaps this third deadline will not end up like the broken promises of the Penang chief minister to reveal the reclamation agreements in December and DAP's promise in January to sue a PAS leader over claims of Israeli funding.

Is Yeo not concerned that the DAP Penang government is paying RM305 million to do just four reports or that RM3 billion of state land is already sold or pre-sold by the private tunnel company?

Or that the project is repeatedly delayed while the expensive reports itself are uncompleted despite payments made?

Yeo also implied that I have not heard of the Freedom Of Information Act (FOI) where we can request information on Taman Manggis.

Perhaps she does not understand that Penang 's FOI strangely requires you to sign a statutory declaration promising not to reveal the contents publicly, which defeats the purpose of a FOI. This is why the C4 NGO questioned last week if this FOI has really helped anyone.

Permata's accounts are fully audited every year by the Auditor-General Office and she is free to read up on these yearly reports.
