Guan Eng claims Perikatan tapping National Trust Fund to avoid Parliament scrutiny

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 — DAP’s Lim Guan Eng has labelled the Perikatan Nasional administration’s plan to tap funds from the National Trust Fund (Kumpulan Amanah Wang Negara) irresponsible, incompetent, and a bid to escape Parliament scrutiny.

The former finance minister suggested the plan was akin to robbing the savings meant for future generations, forced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s poor budget planning.

“The PN government once again demonstrates its incompetence and irresponsibility in managing public finances,” Lim, MP for Bagan, said in a statement.

“This time they are using emergency powers to raid the National Trust Fund (Kumpulan Wang Amanah Negara or KWAN) to make up for the poor 2021 Budget planning,” he added.
