PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has called for former minister Rafidah Aziz and prominent economist Jomo Kwame Sundaram to be also appointed to the government’s National Recovery Council (MPN).
In a statement, Lim claimed that some of the experts roped in by the government so far did not qualify to be on the council as they had “condoned or maintained a loud silence” on the 1MDB scandal.
He said Putrajaya needed to bring to the council subject matter experts who did not have any political links or contentious legacies with previous governments.
“Other subject matter experts that should have been considered for the MPN are prominent economist Jomo Kwame Sundaram, who places emphasis on the poor and socially disadvantaged.
“Famous cardiothoracic surgeon Yahya Awang can offer a different medical perspective on the way out of the current health crisis.
