“I do not see any donation from outsiders. There is no proof of the RM10mil donation,” he said. Tee said all donations to MCA must be accounted for.
Tee became the treasurer-general after the party election last October, taking over from Tan Sri Lau Yin Pin.
“The whole year’s budget for the party must go through the presidential council,” he said.
On the sources of the party’s income, Tee said it received revenue from the rental of Wisma MCA and Megan Avenue buildings.
“We have assets of RM2bil and do not need donations,” said Tee during a press conference after attending the special briefing chaired by president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat at Wisma MCA yesterday.
Asked whether the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had investigated the party, Tee said no but added that he was willing to cooperate with MACC at any time.
The special briefing started at about 12.30pm with more than 1,000 central delegates and division leaders.
Vice-president Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen arrived at 12.50pm while Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun walked into the hall slightly after 1pm.
The focus of the briefing was on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ), the purported RM10mil donation allegedly from Tiong as well as Tiong’s allegation that Chew also took his money.
Both Ong and Chew gave their explanations during the closed-door meeting, with more than 10 questions asked by the delegates. The session ended just after 3pm.
Tee said it was unfair of Tiong to claim that Chew took the money as she was acting as a middle person asking for a donation from Tiong for the Selangor and Federal Territory Senior Citizens Association building fund.
“Tiong’s donation went to the association building fund and not to her or MCA,” said Tee.
Tee also said that through Chew, he contributed bricks and roads valued at RM200,000 for the same building.

“Such donations are quite common. How are you going to account for them?” Tee asked.
Tee, who is also Federal Territory (FT) MCA chief, said it fully supported Ong as he handled the PKFZ issue with transparency and it met the public’s expectations.
“We will back Ong to get his name cleared concerning the allegations of the RM10mil donation,” he said.
He said the FT MCA also strongly condemned Tiong for his action that damaged MCA and Ong’s reputation. “He is making baseless accusations and twisting the facts,” he said.
He said FT MCA urged Tiong to clarify the RM10mil donation to the MCA as such allegations had caused negative effects on the party.
“The FT MCA also fully supports Ong’s decision to lodge a police report over the accusations and to demand for an apology from Tiong within seven days,” he said.

Perhaps Ong could have forgotten to hand over the RM10 million to the Treasurer-General of the MCA after receiving it from Tiong and banked into his own account.
Above should read "If Tiong is telling telling the truth, the money is certainly in someone's pocket. The RM10 million question is "whose"?
Its my wonder why anybody would stay in MCA the way things are going. DAP/PKR need to do more recruting of MCA members - the grassroot.. But with RM2billion in revenue, they can keep pretending they still have grassroot support..
Tan Sri Tee, you want the rakyat to believe we you are just a kindergarten politician? ALL DONATIONS must be accounted for? Are you serious or misrepresenting? Surely you know in politics not all donations need to be accounted? Under-table donations must be accounted? How do you issue a receipt when the donation was never meant to be on the records? You mean to say MCA NEVER receive such donation and actually account for every single sen? Gee, your MCA Party must be made in HEAVEN.
MACC,
Why are you still reluctant to investigate this issue though it has been known to the public? Go and catch those culprit like what you have done to those PR politician!...even lembu and kerbau you go all out to investigate, and this RM10mil you just want to close your eyes, it is 1Malaysia, be it BN or PR if they are wrong go and catch them!....no discrimination please!
