KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang has called for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to look into all direct negotiation contracts in the past decade, covering the three Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) administrations.
The DAP veteran also challenged Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz to spearhead the call for the RCI in Cabinet.
“The time has come for a Royal Commission to be formed to investigate all the direct negotiation contracts in the past 10 years from 2010 to 2020 covering all three Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional governments.
“Will Tengku Zafrul spearhead in Cabinet today the call for an RCI to investigate all direct negotiation contracts in the past 10 years covering all the BN, PH and PN governments and to ensure that such an announcement on the establishment of a RCI is publicly made by National Day on August 31?” questioned Lim.
He also mocked Tengku Zafrul’s efforts to play politics and casting aspersions against the previous PH administration by revealing the 101 direct contracts awarded totalling to RM6.61 billion, but had the exposé backfired against the greenhorn politician.
Lim described the senator’s move as a “ham-fisted strategy” which has returned to bite him and the PN administration where the latter had “scored his own goal” as the list became a “powerful testimony” that PH in its 22 months was better than the previous BN regime and the present “backdoor” PN coalition.
The Opposition lawmaker then asked Tengku Zafrul if he is ready to release the contracts awarded by direct negotiations in the past six months that PN has been in power.
“Is Tengku Zafrul prepared to release the list of contracts awarded by direct negotiations which he had approved in the past six months since the formation of the “backdoor” Perikatan Harapan government to show that there is nothing to hide?
“If he has no hesitation in releasing the list of contracts reached by direct negotiations by the 22-month Pakatan Harapan government, why is he so shy in releasing the list of contracts reached by direct negotiations under the Perikatan Nasional Government as well as the contracts where direct negotiations are taking place?” Lim said.
Apart from being MenHEN (Menteri Hal Ehwal Najib) in Mahathir's covert cabinet, Lim KHAT Sial can be named MenRom (Menteri Royal Commission of Inquiries).
I have lost track of the number of RCIs he had shouted for. In earlier days he demanded endless RCIs on Mahathir's wasteful schemes and programs, but today he is silent on ALL of those RCIs.
Now, his son has been alleged of this and that, and straightaway KHAT Sial jumps up and down like a kera kena belacan, calling for a RCI. Just what eff-ing good will be another RCI if all his previous so-called RCIs had been abandoned when that suited his opportunity.
That's his second problem - his over-protection of his son Guan Eng. Every father loves his son(s) but KHAT Sial takes that altruistic love to an absurd level, as if Guan Eng is still a wee lil' boy who needs to hold on tightly to his papa's hands, wakakaka.
KHAT just STFU and stop "quarter-ing the sandwich" for Guan Eng - your Chye-Chye is old enough to eat that sandwich himself without choking.
lge is a boy, every one know that.
ReplyDeleteA boy who is more human than a yellowed katak!
DeleteAG Idrus Harun already stated that old cases like Musa Aman's corruption can't be proven because financial records only go back 6 years, witnesses have passed on or their recollection are no longer reliable.
ReplyDeleteToonsie's cases go back even longer, 30-40 years, it would be a waste of time, with no chance of success.
Jibby and Badawi had 14 years to investigate when they were PM, 2004-2018, but they did not, now too late, so stiff shit, suck air and move on.....
However, cases from 2010 onwards are still fresh in everyone's minds, we must pursue...... this Tengku Zafrul is a gold mine....keep digging and he will reveal all...ha ha ha....twit and twat....
Now Wee KHAT Siong has been caught with pants down, after he claimed to be "shocked" about the Tengku Zafrul's "own goal expose", the double tracking project was signed ONE DAY before dissolution of parliament (suspicious?) prior to GE14, when Liow Tiong Lai was Minister of Transport, and Guanee cleverly negotiated the value down by RM870 million.
ReplyDeleteWee KHAT Siong quickly run to cabinet to get approval to cancel the contract and conduct open tender....ha ha ha...let's see how the Armed Forces Fund will react....
