'Hero outside, coward in the House'

  • 9 years ago
A vexed Lim Kit Siang today hammered Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat calling him a "hero outside but a coward in the House".


The veteran politician was dissatisfied with Ong's brief ministerial statement over the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco.

Referring to press reports yesterday, Lim said the MCA president stated that he was willing to accept questions and have a debate on the matter.

"I was expecting a long session," he told reporters.

The Ipoh Timor MP added that Ong's 40-minute English and Chinese press conference, held in the Parliament lobby, was longer than his "shameful" eight-minute ministerial statement.
