Wee Ka Siong Should Stop His Cowardly Lies But Seek Truth From Facts And Not Distorting Facts To Pervert The Truth.

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 18 March 2018.

MCA Deputy President Wee Ka Siong refuses to seek truth from facts and is exploiting BN’s control of the mass media to distort facts to pervert the truth about the RM6.3 billion under sea tunnel and 3 main highways project to alleviate traffic congestion in Penang. From his lies that a fashion company was building the tunnel to the agreement signed not being stamped and his latest lie that the cost is not RM6.3 billion but RM20.5 billion, I thought that I have seen it all.

And yet Wee Ka Siong has not ceased to shock me with his latest lie that I had admitted in my last statement that I would rather be a coward. This is again completely false. Is Wee’s English so poor that he does not understand I had advised him that in between being both a coward and a political lunatic, it is a better fate to be a coward?

I would prefer to emphasise on just 3 points in my last statement that Wee does not have the courage to prove.

· How can there be corruption when the project was granted by open tender? Even payment to contractors is not decided by the state government but by an independent checking engineer appointed also by open tender by the state government. To-date the independent checking engineer has not been arrested by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC).

· Name which Penang state government leader had corruptly accepted millions of ringgit for this project. His refusal contrasts with Pakatan leaders boldly naming the corrupt leader behind the 1MDB financial scandal that has turned Malaysia into a global kleptocracy. If Pakatan dares to do so, why is Wee scared to do so?;

· Prove that the the minimum paid-up capital requirement of RM381 million was not fulfilled when the Penang Tender Committee headed by Penang state secretary Dato Seri Farizan awarded this open tender to Zenith Consortium. Even the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC), that has unjustly hounded the Penang state government over this non-existent scandal, does not question the fact that the minimum capital requirement of RM381 million was fulfilled by Zenith Consortium.

Clearly Wee intends to sabotage this project for poltical benefit at the expense of Penangites continuing to suffer horrendous traffic jams. Top BN leaders can easily escape traffic jams in Penang by calling on helicopters, an option not available to both the Penang Chief Minister and ordinary motorists. What then is the alternative for ordinary Penangites?

槟城州首席部长林冠英于2018年3月18日在乔治市光大发表的文告

魏家祥必须停止他各种懦夫般的谎言,应该实事求是而不是鱼目混珠以假乱真。

马华署理总会长魏家祥拒绝实事求是,并且继续利用国阵操控媒体鱼目混珠以假乱真污蔑原本63亿令吉海底隧道及3条大道计划是为了疏解槟州交通的事实。从一开始他谎称由服装公司兴建海底隧道,接着又谎称海底隧道合约没有盖印花税章,到如今又谎称海底隧道造价不只63亿令吉而是205亿令吉,原想我应该已经看清这个不能再低级的骗子所有谎言。

结果没有最低级只有更低级,魏家祥仍不肯收手继续造谣谎称我在上一则文告中承认自己是懦夫。这完全又是另一桩以假乱真的谎言。难道魏家祥的英文烂到无法明白我是建议他与其在懦夫与政治疯子之间游走,不如直接当个懦夫命运总好过当政治疯子?

我再次强调我上一则文告所述魏家祥没有勇气证明的3个重点:

· 这项透过公开招标发标的计划是要怎么贪污?即便该付多少费用予承包商也不是由州政府自行决定而是由同样是公开招标委任的独立工程调查机构所决定。截至目前也不见独立工程调查机构被反贪会逮捕。

· 请魏家祥指名道姓到底是哪位槟州政府领袖在这项计划中贪污受贿了数百万令吉。他没胆量指名道姓,完全与希盟各领袖在1MDB金融丑闻课题上勇于指名道姓哪位领袖牵涉在背后,是谁让大马遭冠上欺世盗国的恶名。如果希盟政府敢于这么做,为何魏家祥惧怕?难道魏家祥他深知自己正在毫无证据的说谎,害怕被起诉?

· 请证明当以州秘书拿督斯里法力占为首的招标委员会透过公开招标发标该计划给Zenith,到底是如何不符最低缴足资本3亿8100万令吉的要求。 即便大马反贪委员会(MACC)在这项不存在的丑闻中如何不公平纠缠骚扰槟州政府,也不曾质疑过Zenith财团符合3亿8100万令吉缴足资本这项事实。

魏家祥很明显只是为了政治目的破坏此计划,不顾槟城继续卡在交通阻塞的车龙中受苦。国阵一些最高领袖来槟时可以召唤直升机轻易避开交通阻塞,但无论是槟州首席部长及槟州一般通勤者都无福消受这种待遇。我们不能像国阵一样召唤直升机,请问我们所有普通槟州百姓的替代方案在哪里?
