“KPKT’s application letter to the MoF should be sent in 2018 by the KSU of KPKT as this project involves a large amount of RM170.3 million. It is not possible for the KSU of KPKT to write an official letter in 2018 to the MoF without the knowledge or agreement of its minister, namely Zuraida. “I hope Zuraida does not hide, hide facts, cover up the truth or run away from the real facts,” Lim added.
Before that, Zuraida denied all knowledge of the two projects awarded through direct negotiations by her ministry under Pakatan Harapan said to be worth around RM170.8 million, which Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz revealed last week. They juxtaposed reports of her denying knowledge of the projects with others showing her visiting the Taman Beringin facility last year.
