PETALING JAYA: Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Wong Kah Woh has misled the public by claiming that the Dewan Rakyat Speaker has the power to make Parliamentary Select Committee hearings public, says an MP.

"I read with sheer amazement how an MP from the Opposition is able to misread a Standing Order, or pretend to misread the Standing Order, in order to mislead the public," said Datuk Willie Mongin (PN-Puncak Borneo).
