Liong Sik’s case transferred to High Court


PUTRAJAYA, Nov 30 — The Sessions Court today transferred former Transport Minister Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik’s trial in connection with the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

Dr Ling’s bail of RM1 million was maintained pending mention of the case in the High Court. He has claimed trial to the charges.

He was charged on July 29 of knowingly deceiving the Cabinet to approve a land purchase in Pulau Indah for the purpose of the Mega Distribution Hub project in Port Klang, which resulted in wrongful losses to the government.

Dr Ling, 67, was allegedly to have committed the offence at the Prime Minister's Office here between September 25 and November 6, 2002. - Malaysian Insider
