Ong: No need to make problems public
The Star, Saturday September 16, 2006
KUALA LUMPUR: There are proper and effective ways to resolve problems without needing to make them public, said MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting.
He said it was the responsibility of MCA leaders to expose any case of corruption, the abuse of power and malpractice but there were proper channels to do so.
“This is about the coordination and cooperation between government officers in solving problems and implementing national policies,” he said yesterday after attending the Chang Ming Thien Foundation’s study loan presentation ceremony.
He said this when responding to questions on the spat between Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat and Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
The Cabinet decided on Thursday to reprimand Tee Keat for his statement directed at the Education Ministry, alleging that funds meant for renovations in two Chinese schools had been misused.
Ong said that in this particular case, it must be understood that society at large was concerned over whether there were problems in the implementation of government policies.
