The Port Klang Authority (PKA) chairperson Lee Hwa Beng this morning lodged a police report against developer Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd and BTA Architect over a possible fraud in claims.

Kuala Dimensi is the turnkey developer of the controversial Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) while BTA Architect is the consultant appointed for the project.

NONE The report was lodged at the Klang district police department at about 10.15am today.

He refused to disclose details of the report to journalists on the advice of his lawyer.

"There are so (many) details. I cannot say much...I leave it to the police to investigate. If I say anything further, then, you will report.

"You and I will be sued for defamation," he told reporters.

The PKA board of directors had decided to lodge the report against Kuala Dimensi over alleged billing discrepancies ranging from between RM500 million and RM1 billion.

Yesterday Lee had said that he would be lodging a report for over-billing and possible fraud.

A special task force formed by the PKA to look into the PKFZ mismanagement found irregularities in claims made by Kuala Dimensi.

The task force stated that Kuala Dimensi could have over-billed PKA between RM500 million and RM1 billion.

No decision on MACC report

Lee also said that the PKA board, in its meeting next week, will deliberate if a report should be made to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

NONE "I was only asked to lodge a police report. My primary purpose is to recover as much money (as possible) for PKA," he said, as reported by Bernama .

Later today at about 3pm, Selangor exco member Xavier Jayakumar lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission over the PKFZ scandal.

Meanwhile, Gerakan urged the government to recover the monies that were not legally due to the parties involved in the PKFZ fiasco.

The party also wanted a mechanism introduced to prevent a recurrence.

"The government must also be totally transparent and reveal everything that needs to be revealed over the PKFZ project," party vice-president Mah Siew Keong said in a statement today.

"Hundreds of millions of ringgit have been mentioned in the whole fiasco. They are not government money or PKA (Port Klang Authority) money, they are taxpayers' money that must be accounted for," he said.
