Former Prime Minister Najib Razak and Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng continue sparring over the PLUS toll concessions.

Earlier today, Lim had said the Pakatan Harapan government, did not have to pay compensation to highway concessionaire PLUS, as was done by Barisan Nasional. “What’s wrong for the government to pay yearly compensation to EPF? Are EPF members now considered cronies?” he said on Twitter, referring to Lim’s comment that BN’s style was to privatise profits and socialise costs.

“Yes, I admit that the people are my cronies. What’s wrong with me taking care of the people?” he said.
