PUTRAJAYA: Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad has asked his critics to meet him directly to discuss the contentious Taman Rimba Kiara condominium project.
“I am trying to do my job and it is disappointing to hear all these comments being made about me in the media. I inherited“To say that I am being an apologist to the developer and that I represent private interest is hurtful,” Khalid said at a press conference yesterday.
After Pakatan Harapan came to power, Khalid renegotiated the deal with the developer and came out with a scaled-down version of the project, which saw the number of residential units halved. “But we are talking about public funds. What I am trying to do here is protect the public funds,” he said. Among others, Yeoh had asked why Khalid did not consult the Attorney General regarding the development as it involved compensation.
