Report: Two Umno leaders have ties to mega reclamation project party pushed for during Melaka election

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 21 — Two Umno politicians were directly involved in the Melaka Waterfront Economic Zone (M-WEZ).

Malaysiakini reported that Umno duo, Dewan Negara Deputy President Datuk Seri Mohamad Ali Mohamad and former Melaka Deputy Speaker Datuk Ghazale Muhamad, both own companies that were awarded concession areas in the project.

Malaysiakini said it discovered this while performing a check on a new Klebang reclamation project under the M-WEZ, which is still undergoing its environmental impact assessment (EIA).

The EIA report, submitted by Konsortium Pembangunan Tanah Laut (Melaka) Sdn Bhd, showed that the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) state government awarded 300 acres of reclamation concessions to four companies own by Mohamad Ali and Ghazale between June 2016 and February 2017.
