Dr Ling claims trial to amended charges

Former Transport Minister Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik claimed trial Monday at the High Court here to amended principal and alternative cheating charges.

He recorded his plea before Justice Ahmadi Asnawi.

Dr Ling, 67, was earlier charged with cheating the Malaysian government by misleading the Cabinet on the land acquisition for the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.

According to the main charge, he was alleged to have deceived the Malaysian government between Sept 25 and Nov 6, 2002 by deceiving the Cabinet into agreeing on the land purchase in Pulau Indah for the mega distribution hub project in Port Klang according to the terms agreed to between Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd and Port Klang Authority.
