KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — The Pakatan Harapan government saved RM805 million after it reviewed and renegotiated the tender for 121 projects, the Ministry of Finance said today. The government reduced the total cost of the projects to RM13.3 billion from RM13.9 billion after the review, Lutfi Hakim, press secretary to the Finance Minister said in a statement.“MOF believes that ascribing to the open tender process will save costs and give the people the best value,” he said.
PH had suspended and reviewed all direct negotiation projects approved by the ousted Barisan Nasional a month after winning the 14th general election.
Yes,u give to your cronies is it? Give us some details.Which project?Who got it?What was the original cost?What was the original specs?If its a downgrading of specs and reduction of size etc its not really savings is it? Details please instead issuing these kind of statement.
Its only fair to give the Rakyat details of such savings rather then merely coming out with such statements. I think by now the Rakyat would take all statements from YBs and politicians, with a pinch of salt!
