The DAP lodged today a police report against former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo for allegedly signing a deal with Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad a day before polling day to operate and maintain the Sungai Sireh water treatment plant.
DAP Central Committee Member Ronnie Liu lodged the report against Khir at the Selangor police headquarters at 3.30pm.
“We are questioning the manner the contract was signed,” Liu said. “The signing of the deal just before elections is unlawful.”
Liu said according to the law, when parliament is dissolved, a Government standing as a candidate for elections cannot sign any deals pertaining to Government projects.
“Any dealings should be done only after the new Government is formed,” he said. “Maybe Khir Toyo thought he would win this election again and that is why he signed.”
Khir had denied signing any contracts or that he had any knowledge of a deal signed. The Bursa Malaysia on Tuesday, the same day Khir Toyo denied knowledge of contract signing, made an announcement that a contract was signed with the Selangor Government for Puncak Niaga to operate, manage and maintain the raw water intake and the treatment plant situated on a 6.72 acre piece of land located beside a canal near Sungai Sireh, Tanjung Karang in the district of Kuala Selangor.
The actual contract is expected to take effect on April 1.
