ADUN Kampung Tunku Lau Weng San menyelar ketua biro profesional MCA Chua
Tee Yong yang berdiam diri dalam isu tanah yang diperolehi BN di
Selangor."Apabila Chua menyerang kita dengan soal tanah Talam (Corporation), kami memberi jawapan kepadanya.
"Tapi sekarang dia berdiam diri dan melarikan diri daripada isu tanah BN," katanya kepada pemberita selepas melawat sekeping tanah di Sungai Way yang didakwa diperolehi Umno Petaling Jaya dengan harga murah.
Tanah komersil seluas 5010.6 kaki persegi itu, yang kini menempatkan pusat penjaja, merupakan salah satu daripada 24 keping tanah yang didakwa diperolehi BN dengan harga RM1 sekaki persegi.
Lau menganggap tindakan Chua yang berdiam diri dalam soal berkenaan merupakan sokongan kepada perbuatan tersebut, selain menjejaskan kredibiliti pemimpin muda MCA itu dalam isu Talam.
"Jika dia boleh datang ke kawasan parlimen ini untuk menghadiri majlis makan malam MCA dengan 500 meja minggu lalu, dia boleh datang tengok tanah ini," katanya.
Ini merupakan cabaran kedua oleh MP Pakatan kepada Chua untuk menbuat kenyataan berhubung skandal berkenaan, ekoran serangannya ke atas kerajaan Selangor dalam isu perolehan semula hutang Talam.-malaysiakini

Sapu tanah 1Malaysia land scandal: - Why Chua Tee Yong so silent over Selangor MCA's land grab...
Kampung Tunku state assemblyperson Lau Weng San of DAP today accused MCA
young professionals bureau chief Chua Tee Yong of double standards for
his continued silence over land grab allegations against BN in Selangor.
"When Chua attacked us over the Talam land matter, we did not run away, we responded to him.
"But now he is keeping silent and running away from BN's land grab issue," he told journalists during a side visit to a piece of land in Sungai Way which was acquired by Umno Petaling Jaya for a nominal price.
The 5010.6 square feet commercial land, which now hosts a hawker centre, is one of the 24 plots which BN had allegedly acquired for RM1 per square feet.
Lau (right) added that Tee's continued silence on the matter was tantamount to endorsing the land grab.
"This double standard has also affected his credibility on Talam.
"If he can come to this constituency to attend a 500-table MCA dinner last week, then he should also come here (Sungai Way) and take a look at the land," he said.
This was the second time Pakatan MPs had called on Chua to take up this land scandal issue following his continuous assault on the Selangor state government in the Talam debt recovery exercise.
Last week, Petaling Jaya Utara Tony Pua had invited Chua for a site visit to all the 24 plots that BN bought.
Pua had last Tuesday conducted a site visit to one in Kelana Jaya which now sits a 200-unit condominium.

Sapu tanah 1Malaysia cheap land: Now UMNO into hawker business too...
Another DAP site visit to a plot of land acquired on the cheap by
Umno has revealed it to be a thriving hawker centre, with hostels for
foreign workers built at the back of the premises.Kampung Tunku state assemblyperson Lau Weng San said the 5,010.6 square foot premises in Sungai Way, Selangor, had been alienated to Umno Petaling Jaya in 1981 at a price of RM1 per square foot.
Lau said that, since then, there has been a redelineation exercise and the land is now likely under the purview of Umno Petaling Jaya Utara.
"This is commercial land but the selling price was even lower than that of agriculture land," he told journalists at the site.
While he was uncertain about the exact price that should have been levied, he noted that the adjacent commercial land is worth at least RM100 per square foot.
On top of the current potential of the plot - situated in a strategic area along the Federal Highway - Lau said Umno is likely making profit from rentals at the hawker centre and the hostels.
"Umno is allowing people to do business there and charging rental. This profit is not for the government but for the party,” he said.
"Umno can get land, but this should be done appropriately and at the market price. They should not enrich themselves through government assets.”
'Compensate the government'Lau stressed that he has no issues with the hawkers operating at the centre, but insisted it is unfair for Umno to have obtained the land at such a low price and then benefit from leasing out the premises constructed.
"As a responsible political party, they should compensate the government or return the land to the government," he said.
He added that the site could have been of benefit to more people had it not been bought by Umno. This is because land is scarce in Sungai Way, where there is also a shortage of recreational space.
A hawker at the site told Malaysiakini that she rents three small lots at RM1,000 a month.-malaysiakini
