Kampar MP Chong Zhemin has submitted a motion to refer MCA president Wee Ka Siong to the Dewan Rakyat's Rights and Privileges Committee, accusing the Ayer Hitam MP of making statements that could have misled the House over the Rural and Regional Development Ministry's expenditure.

In a statement today, Chong (above) said Wee must substantiate his remarks, adding that whether they amounted to misleading the House should be determined through the parliamentary process.

“My position is straightforward. How public money was approved, why work was allowed to proceed, and why contractors remained unpaid must all be explained.

"If Wee wants to defend the Rural and Regional Development Ministry, he should answer these questions instead of making this about himself,” he said.
