PETALING JAYA: The Selangor palace today suspended state titles awarded to former MCA president Dr Ling Liong Sik and Port Klang Authority (PKA) general manager OC Phang pending the outcome of the investigation into the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.
In a statement issued by the state secretary today, the decision was made after consultations with the state royal council on Aug 19, and considering that they have been charged with “serious offences that involve the interests of the people and country”.
However, added the statement, the suspension of the awards, which carries the title “datuk” and “datin paduka” respectively will be lifted if both are found not guilty and acquitted of the charge.
Jail term
Ling, the former transport minister, was charged under Section 418 for allegedly “misleading the Cabinet between Sept 25 and Nov 6, 2002 into agreeing to purchase 999.5 acres of land on Pulau Indah for a project that is now known as PKFZ, at a price of RM25 psf on a deferred payment for a 15-year period, at an interest rate of 7.5%.
The cumulative interest paid would total RM720 million at the end of the repayment period.

The Sultan of Selangor should remove whatever title he bestowed on Toyol, the plunderer!! Does the sultan know not si Toyol has a bigger and better instana compared to his Highness's!! Come on, Sultan, be realistic, be fair and humane to your rakyat. how could you punish Miss Teo for donating fund for repairing masjid's fence, on the other hand you choose to keep one eye close to the one who steals from rakyat big time! We are your rakyat, we demand fairness from you cos' you are supposed to be our protector, our defender, and our saviour. But we are indeed sad to note that you turn a blind eye to all the irregularities committed by former MB and his goons!!! Please, do guide us the way God wants you to guide your people under your charge!!!

Aiyah Idris Shah, take away the titles of all these Goons from UMNO, MCA, MIC and then they will pay again for it as they still ada banyak duit lah. Restart the economy and You, yang Mulia can make more money for the stupid titles that you dish out. Even Kavita can become more rich.

Interesting, what did they do with Chua Jui Meng's titles and awards? - they stripped him of his title.
Looks like whatever Chua had done is much more serious than what Ling or Peng are accused of because their titles were only suspended!
Where's the logic?

Good move BUT why selective? These 2 operatives cant be the only ones to fool the entire Cabinet. Only an idiot will believe it lah! So dont be scared go get the Tun, Tan Sri and the entire BN cabinet.
What abt the Royal Commission findings - why LiiingGame and Dr Mad still no action?
Half baked move. Macam pekak + buta off n on.
To Ling+Phang, at yr age peace of mind and honour is more important than money or position. Go kiss and tell. You'll be made Tan Sri and Puan Sri by the people who had been cheated. This is your chance of not carrying curses to your grave.
