Why the rush to call up Pahang MCA Youth chief on a holiday weekend, Dr Wee asks MCMC


PETALING JAYA: Pahang MCA Youth chief Wong Siew Mun has been summoned at the eleventh hour to give a statement at the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) headquarters in Cyberjaya on Sunday (Aug 31), says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said he had received a call from Wong at 10.20pm on Saturday (Aug 30), informing him that she had received a WhatsApp message summoning her to the MCMC headquarters in Cyberjaya at 11.30 am for questioning over a TikTok post on the Urban Renewal Bill.

"I understand that Siew Mun had asked the investigating officer to postpone the interview but was told that the officer had been asked by his superiors to record her statement tomorrow," the Ayer Hitam MP said in a Facebook post.

Why is there such a rush to make last-minute arrangements to record her statement, he asked.

"Tomorrow is Malaysia's 68th National Day. Why is Wong Siew Mun being summoned to MCMC during a long public holiday.

"MCMC must explain what is so 'urgent' as tomorrow is a public holiday," Dr Wee said, adding that in this situation, how was Wong supposed to rush back to Cyberjaya.
