Former transport minister Dr Ling Liong Sik today said the authorities should be asked over their different treatments with regard to the PAC reports on Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) and 1MDB.

“You must ask them why do they behave so differently. Don't ask me, I’m not behaving differently,” he said simply, to a question.

The former MCA president was charged in 2010 with three counts of cheating the government. He was acquitted in 2013.

He was charged without him being named in the PAC report on the Port Klang Free Zone as he was the minister in charge.

Though authorities were seen by some to be less dilligent in their response to the PAC report on 1MDB which also did not name but contained references to the minister in charge.
