PKFZ: Will it be censored in Parliament?
By Jeff Ooi Oct 13, 2009 12:42AM UTCThe PKFZ Scandal has caused Ong Tee Keat (pictured) to embarrass the BN government on (the lack of) good governance, and for him to be ultimately out-voted in the MCA EGM on October 10.
One of the key players in the PKFZ public spat with Tee Keat is the chairman of the BN Backbenchers Club (BNBBC), who is also the MP for Bintulu.
Both the BN men became the spices that made PKFZ a hot issue in and outside the media circles and their readers.
But, will it be as hot in the Parliament when it reconvenes October 19, when Tee Keat and Bintulu appear in the same august hall of legislature?
Chances, as far as the agenda for Day 1 of the coming sitting of the Parliament is concerned are extremely slim. PKFZ failed to feature on the agenda for Day 1, October 19. At least not the Top 12 questions that normally receive prime-time live telecast.
Here’s the Day 1 Agenda (Oral Question Time) issued by the Secretariat of Dewan Rakyat and received today:

I remember Kit Siang volleying 3 questions per day at Tee Keat to not let all stones unturned on PKFZ.
Thus far, MPs have yet to receive the PwC report on PKFZ with full appendix that Tee Keat promised us before the last Parliament sitting.
Come to think of it, I wonder, will Tee Keat still be Transport Minister when the Parliament resits?
