Pakatan wants swift MACC probe into controversial Sabah pipeline project revival
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Pakatan Harapan leaders issued today demanded explanation and urged authorities to launch a thorough probe into the government’s decision to revive projects seen as legacies of Barisan Nasional mismanagement.
It was recently revealed that the projects had been revived by the succeeding government led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in a decision communicated in February this year. “The PH presidential council was extremely shocked by the decision to revive the TSGP as revealed by the Finance Minister in Parliament recently,” the coalition said, noting that only 13 per cent of the pipelines were finished despite the contractor having received up to 88 per cent of the payment.
The two projects were initiated in 2016 by the government of then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
