The PAC had conducted an inquiry this afternoon at 4-15pm @ SUK. It is regret to note that only YB Dato Seri Mohd Nizar bin Jamaluddin was present and the rest of the person notice so served were absent. We appreciated Yb dato Seri Nizar's presence and co-operations during the inquiry.
The PAC feels that their absence, in particularly YB Dato Dr Zambry and YB Dato Dr Abdul Rahman, shown that they have no respect on the PAC. On the basis of mutual respect, the PAC had decided to deal with their absence in a flexible way and to call another inquiry next Friday 13.03.2009 3 p.m. for them to be present.
The details of their absence are as follows:-
(a) YB Dato’ Zambry: We only received his letter to PAC stating his protest on the proceedings and his intention of not coming to the inquiry shortly after we have concluded the inquiry at 5-15pm.
(b) YB Dato’ Dr. Abdul Rahman: Without prior notice, he had requested the Secretary to PAC to read out his two Paragraph statement which we feel is highly insufficient. No prior notice or courtesy call to inform the PAC that he is not coming.
(c) YB Dato’ Ahmad Kamal: The State Legal Advisor had written a letter to PAC to request for another date as he was in Kuala Lumpur for official duty. The letter was handed over to me by the Secretary to PAC only shortly before the inquiry convened.
(d) YB Dato’ Jamaluddin: We appreciated that the State Finance Officer had at least given me two calls on Monday and Tuesday to state that he will be sending his Deputy to attend and he said that the Deputy will be able to answer any question that we posed. However, to our surprise no one turned up eventually.
The PAC had instructed to inquire whereabout of them during the inquiry which was held between 4-15 pm to 5-15pm today. The PAC feels it is an utmost contempt of the PAC if the said person are indeed in the State Building and refused to attend.
