Businessman Soh Chee Wen ( right ) today revealed a 'document' to prove that Transport Minister Dr Ling Liong Sik ( left ) had used his government office and time to conduct personal business dealings.

The 'document' was the front cover of a shares sale agreement draft between the minister's family business vehicle Linksun Avenue Sdn Bhd and Berjaya Group Bhd.

Soh told a press conference in Subang Jaya that the draft was faxed from the Transport Ministry to Berjaya at 9.05am o­n Dec 11, 1996.

Copies of the front page of the faxed document which were distributed to the press today had facsimile details o­n the top left which spelt "Kem Pengkutan" (abbreviation of Transport Ministry) and "Berjaya Group Bhd", coupled with their respective fax numbers.

The businessman accused Ling - who is also MCA president - of lying to the public when the latter denied that he had ever used his ministry office for private activities.
