Come clean about RM6.61b figure, Pakatan MPs tell finance minister

Tuesday, 25 Aug 2020 01:40 PM MYTFormer finance minister Lim Guan Eng speaks to reporters during a press conference at Parliament, Kuala Lumpur August 25, 2020. — Picture by Ahmad Zamzahuri

“I dare him to reveal everything so that the rakyat can evaluate and compare which company succeeded in getting a tender, which crony got it and which minister applied for projects via direct negotiations,” he told reporters during a press conference at the Parliament building here today. “Is Zafrul afraid that he would end up revealing that the PM himself when he was home minister, and along with other ‘traitor ministers’, had applied for projects via direct awards from me when I was finance minister?

Lim, who is also a former finance minister, was responding to Zafrul who revealed the RM6.61 billion figure in Parliament yesterday which triggered a dispute between MPs from both sides of the political divide. In another attempt to explain the dispute, former domestic trade and consumer affairs minister and PKR’s Kulim-Bandar Baru MP Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail gave an example of a bridge that was washed away in his constituency which called for immediate repairs.“Am I supposed to tell the villagers that they have to wait for repair projects to be approved via open tender?” he said.
