PETALING JAYA: Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Wong Kah Woh slammed the police today for threatening to arrest him when he attempted to enter Parliament to conduct a hearing, saying it was “uncalled for”.
Wong said he told the officer on duty that he was the PAC chairman and informed him of the 10.30am meeting with the health ministry over vaccine procurement.
However, he was initially denied entry despite producing a letter, signed by the Dewan Rakyat secretary, on the hearing.
“The police even threatened me with arrest if I did not leave in two minutes,” he said in a statement.
Wong said PAC members were subsequently allowed in after Parliament staff intervened.
