Reveal list of directly negotiated projects under Muhyiddin’s govt: Sim

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – A government backbencher is demanding the Finance Ministry disclose the complete list of public projects awarded via direct negotiation when Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (Pagoh-PN) was the prime minister. 

Sim Tze Tzin (Bayan Baru-PH) said this should be done to reciprocate the Muhyiddin administration’s similar action against the Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad-led Pakatan Harapan (PH) government when it was in federal power.

“We want the government to list out all contracts given via negotiation under Muhyiddin’s government,” he said when debating Budget 2023 at the committee stage today.  
“Let the rakyat know the value of the contracts given out under Pagoh. I urge the Finance Ministry to disclose this.”

Previously in August 2020, following the formation of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, the Finance Ministry, then under Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, released a full list of the 101 direct negotiation deals awarded by the PH government.

It was revealed then that RM6.61 billion worth of projects were awarded.
