The Batang Sadong MP asks whether the finance minister knows the ins and outs of budgeting.
KUCHING: Batang Sadong MP Nancy Shukri has questioned Lim Guan Eng’s suitability for his position as finance minister, saying his recent statement about Sarawak’s financial future showed an inability to understand budgeting.
Like others who have commented on Lim’s speech at a DAP dinner last Friday, Nancy assumed that he reckoned the RM11 billion would all be taken from the state reserves, which now stands at about RM30 billion. She told FMT she was in full support of remarks by Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Council of Eminent Persons chairman Daim Zainuddin that some federal ministers were below average in their performance.However, she also said Lim, in making his statement, might have had the more nefarious motive of trying to fool the people of Sarawak so that they would withdraw their support for Gabungan Parti Sarawak , the coalition that currently rules the state.
