Pua challenges Tee Yong to Talam debate

DAP’s Tony Pua has challenged MCA leader Chua Tee Yong to a debate on the Talam Corp deal to “end his misery” over the latter’s “increasingly ludicrous” allegations.

“Chua has become an embarrassment for the MCA as he stumbles from one mega-blunder to another.  

“I call upon Chua to end his misery once and for all, with a public and open debate in any language, at a time and place of his choosing, even if it is held at Wisma MCA over the ‘Talam Debt Recovery: A Billion Ringgit Bailout or a Billion Ringgit Mega-Blunder’,” said Pua (left).

“If there’s something to take home positively from the series of ‘exposés’ from Chua Tee Yong and his band of Selangor MCA cheerleaders, it is that he will doggedly persist with making increasingly ludicrous allegations against the Pakatan Rakyat state government, even if it is at the expense of exposing himself as a half-baked accountant.

“To date, he has not even responded to the billion ringgit mega-blunder he has made, or other alleged scandals over the land asset recovery by the Selangor state which were exposed as unscandalous,” said the DAP national publicity secretary in a statement today.

Despite Pua’s earlier explanations for the various alleged irregularities over aspects of the complex debt recovery exercise with Talam Corp for money owing to the state accruing from the previous BN government, Chua, who is also Labis MP, has not relented.

The DAP PJ Utara MP called Chua’s latest ‘expose’ on Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd’s (PNSB) alleged bank loan “senseless”.
