The release of the "Position Review of Port Klang Free Zone Project and Port Klang Free Zone Sdn. Bhd." (PKFZ Report) is only a small part of the job done. We need now to seriously act on the findings of the report to make sure that the interest of the people are fully protected and that this Government walks the talk.
I have directed Port Klang Authority (PKA) to act on these four fronts.
1. To seek legal recourse for contractual shortcomings or irregularities.
2. To seek professional advice on the restructuring of financial obligations of PKA.
3. To improve and tighten governance issues at management and board levels of PKA.
4. Finally, to further beef up the day to day management of PKFZ to strengthen operations and improve its financial returns.
I have also directed the Chairman of PKA, Dato' Lee Hwa Beng to submit a copy of the report to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
My Ministry is not only committed to have the report released but is also determined to ensure that we seek all possible remedies that are within our jurisdiction.
