KUALA LUMPUR: Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng today challenged his successor Tengku Zafrul Aziz to make public a list of 101 projects worth RM6.6 billion which the latter said were given through direct negotiation under Pakatan Harapan .
He added that even if the figure was true, it would only make up some 1.4% of total government procurement worth RM477 billion during PH’s 22-month tenure. He also questioned the total value of projects given out through direct tender compared to total government procurement under Barisan Nasional and the current Perikatan Nasional administrations.“Be transparent, be brave. He made the accusation, back it up.”
Lim also defended any direct awards given during PH’s stint in government, saying these were only done for necessary projects under special circumstances which was allowed according to the guidelines set by the finance ministry.
