Former Transport Minister Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy claimed trial at the KL High Court on Friday to three amended cheating charges in relation to the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal.
Under the amended charges, Chan is accused of deceiving former premier Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi into approving Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd as the turnkey developer to carry out the transshipment hub, with his support as the then Transport Minister.
He is accused of hiding the fact that the development cost would be financed through a bond by Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd via Transshipment Megahub Bhd.
He is said to have committed the offence at the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya between Feb 24, 2004 and March 29, 2006.
High Court judge Justice Zamani Abdul Rahim set trial from April 2 next year.
