WKW Profile 1(1) Press Release by YB Wong Kah Woh, the State Assemblyman for Canning on 08/04/2012 (Sunday):-

The State Assemblyman of Canning, YB Wong Kah Woh said today that the Barisan National appointed Menteri Besar, Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir should declassify all documents, from 2007 until the approval of the iron ore distribution center, VALE in the winding up session of the sitting on Monday in order to let the people of Perak form their own judgment of what is right and wrong.

Wong pointed out that Zambry had selectively declassified a letter signed by Dato’ Seri Mohd Nizar bin Jamaludin but other official documents throughout the approval process has not been declassified. Other documents that have not been declassified includes the BN government’s correspondence with the Vale, minutes of meetings of all relevant government agencies, conditions set by the state government in the approval and the views of various departments.

“Simply relying on a letter signed by Nizar that has been taken out of context shows the lack of transparency of the Barisan National state government led by Zambry. Where is their credibility?”

Wong also pointed out that the Pakatan Rakyat is not opposed to any investment. However, the interest of the people must be taken into account. It is very clear that rhe VALE project was approved by the BN state government in Teluk Rubiah instead of Tanjong Hantu, which has been found to be a better site by the then Pakatan rakyat’s State Government as Tanjong Hantu has been deforested with minimal residences.

It was also reported that Zambry had claimed that there is “opposition member” who attended the protest at Teluk Rubiah had told him that Pakatan Rakyat is now doing damage control exercise. Wong refuted the claim and said that as a responsible Menteri Besar, Zambry should not make such an unfounded statement. Dato’ Seri Nizar, Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham, YB Sivakumar and Wong himself had attended the protest in order to listen to the people’s wishes. Wong challenged Zambry to name the so-called “opposition member” in order to support his statement, or he should retract the said unfounded accusation immediately.
