The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: Intense publicity generated over the progress of a three-man panel’s investigation into an alleged spy team to oust political enemies of MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting may turn witnesses away.

”The party election is also coming soon and they may fear losing their positions,” former MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek told reporters at Parliament lobby yesterday.

Dr Chua also said he hoped to testify before the panel without any media attention next Wednesday.

The committee, set up to investigate the alleged spy team, will also call up former Damansara Utama assemblyman Datuk Lim Choon Kim, former Serdang MP Datuk Yap Pian Hon and MCA Youth central committee member Hang Chin Pheng.

Panel chairman Tan Sri Dr Sak Cheng Lum said Dr Chua was called to the panel because he was quoted in the media as saying he had some information for the committee.

It was reported that Dr Chua claimed that many people had told him that his sex DVD was linked to the spy squad .

Dr Chua resigned from his party and government posts early this year following the sex video clip scandal.

When he turned up at the Parliament lobby, journalists, photographers and MPs quickly surrounded him.

He quipped that he was “a star for the wrong reason”.

Saying that he was jobless now, he added that he spends his time reading, exercising and daydreaming.

Dr Chua also met his son Tee Yong (BN – Labis) at the lounge meant for MPs.

Like other new MPs, Dr Chua said Tee Yong still had a lot to learn.
