Land scandal: 'Tee Yong practising double standards'

Kampung Tunku state assemblyperson Lau Weng San of DAP today accused MCA young professionals bureau chief Chua Tee Yong of double standards for his continued silence over land grab allegations against BN in Selangor.

"When Chua attacked us over the Talam land matter, we did not run away, we responded to him.

"But now he is keeping silent and running away from BN's land grab issue," he told journalists during a side visit to a piece of land in Sungai Way which was acquired by Umno Petaling Jaya for a nominal price.

The 5010.6 square feet commercial land, which now hosts a hawker centre, is one of the 24 plots which BN had allegedly acquired for RM1 per square feet.

Lau (right) added that Tee's continued silence on the matter was tantamount to endorsing the land grab.

"This double standard has also affected his credibility on Talam.

"If he can come to this constituency to attend a 500-table MCA dinner last week, then he should also come here (Sungai Way) and take a look at the land," he said.

This was the second time Pakatan MPs had called on Chua to take up this land scandal issue following his continuous assault on the Selangor state government in the Talam debt recovery exercise.

Last week, Petaling Jaya Utara Tony Pua had invited Chua for a site visit to all the 24 plots that BN bought.

Pua had last Tuesday conducted a site visit to one in Kelana Jaya which now sits a 200-unit condominium.

Selangor BN Kuang state assemblyperson Abdul Shukor Idrus and Kuala Kubu Bharu assemblyperson Wong Kun Mun had defended the coalition for getting the cheap land, stating it was for the benefit of the rakyat.
