KUALA LUMPUR, Mon Having triggered the events that led to the Government stopping toll collection in Cheras in 1990, it was not surprising that DAP MP for Cheras Tan Kok Wai was more than a little interested in the Court of Appeal ruling on the Metramac case.

He lodged a police report today against businessmen Tan Sri Halim Saad and Datuk Anuar Othman for criminal breach of trust, and former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin for abuse of power.

Tan lodged the report, which alleges that Halim and Anuar had siphoned RM32.5 million from Metramac, at the Cheras police station at 1pm.

He was accompanied by four DAP politicians: Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, Kepong MP Tan Seng Giaw, Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun, and party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

Tan said the report was based on the findings of judge Datuk Gopal Sri Ram on Jan 12.

In a unanimous decision, the Court of Appeal had ordered Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd to pay compensation to a construction company for loss of advertising rights.

Sri Ram also ordered Metramac to pay Fawziah Holdings Sdn Bhd all proceeds to be received under future contract.

Metramac is the owner and operator of the East-West Link Expressway (Karak-Kuantan) and Sungei Besi Expressway.
