[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has asked fellow MPs to show the same outrage over the auditor-general’s expose on the loss of RM620 million in leakages as they did on the Timah whisky name controversy.

“For the last two weeks, we have been hearing a lot about the Timah issue on a daily basis, especially on the renaming of the whisky,” the independent MP said during the debate on the 2022 Supply Bill in the Dewan Rakyat.

“We have had a Cabinet meeting that involved three ministries on this matter despite this company existing in Malaysia for a long time.

“Will we give the same attention to the issue of the RM620 million loss in leakages? It is hundreds of millions of the people’s money.
