“I support transparency. If he thinks there’s hanky-panky, he should lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission or any enforcement authority to check on it,” Ng told reporters after a forum at Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Sports and Exercise Science today.

Ng, who is the Kinrara assemblyman, said the menteri besar would also address the matter at the upcoming state assembly meeting.

“Please be patient. As a seasoned politician, Wong knows what to do,” he said.

Wong had criticised the Selangor government for failing to respond to multiple letters regarding the sale of about 68.4ha of land near the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve.

He said he had sent three formal letters since December seeking clarification on the sale of the land, which is marked for development, but received no official reply.

He said Rawang assemblyman Chua Wei Kiat had also submitted a question about the land deal for the assembly meeting beginning on April 20, hoping that this would compel the state government to provide an official explanation.

Wong also highlighted strong opposition from residents, noting that 7,541 complaints had been submitted over the proposed project.

He said the issue centred on transparency, including the purpose and price of the land sale to Perano Properties Development Sdn Bhd.

The PKR MP also raised safety concerns about the site’s terrain, describing parts of it as steep and potentially hazardous, and called for assurances that nearby communities would not be exposed to risks such as landslides.

He proposed that the state government consider buying back the land, either partially or in full, particularly areas deemed dangerous. He estimated the cost could reach RM193 million.

A residents’ representative similarly urged the state to reacquire the land and re-gazette it as a permanent forest reserve.
