Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng has taken Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin to task on the latter’s claim that two projects involving her ministry were directly negotiated without her knowledge.
Accroding to news reports, Zuraida said she was prepared to hand over the documents – letters purportedly from her ministry’s secretary-general to the finance ministry to seek approval for direct negotiations on a RM170.3 million solid waste project.
In refuting this, the former finance minister said such a huge project could not have been approved without Zuraida’s knowledge.
“She cannot hide behind the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in not revealing all the letters related to the Taman Beringin solid waste project worth RM170.3 million,” he said.
PETALING JAYA: Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng has taken Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin to task on the latter’s claim that two projects involving her ministry were directly negotiated without her knowledge.
Accroding to news reports, Zuraida said she was prepared to hand over the documents – letters purportedly from her ministry’s secretary-general to the finance ministry to seek approval for direct negotiations on a RM170.3 million solid waste project.
Zuraida denies having knowledge of the projects and claimed the direct negotiation was done by Guan Eng.
In refuting this, the former finance minister said such a huge project could not have been approved without Zuraida’s knowledge.
“She cannot hide behind the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in not revealing all the letters related to the Taman Beringin solid waste project worth RM170.3 million,” he said.
He said if there was a letter from him instructing direct negotiation, Zuraida would have exposed it.
“In the interest of truth and transparency, reveal all relevant letters from me, Zuraida, the Treasury secretary-general and the housing and local government ministry secretary-general.
“Zuraida should not claim existence of such a letter and dare not reveal it in public,” he said
Previously, Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz released a list of 101 projects which he said were directly negotiated under the Pakatan Harapan government, with the housing and local government ministry awarding two projects – a RM170.3 million solid waste project in Taman Beringin, Kepong, and a RM501,000 software accounting system.
