Anwar, who is also the finance minister, gave this assurance following a Cabinet decision that mandates all ministers, civil servants and agencies refrain from utilising government machinery immediately after the nomination day. “This is because it relates to the principle we uphold in combating corruption and to prevent the continuation of any corrupt practices. However, if a project began before the nomination day, I do not believe it warrants further scrutiny.
“If there is a violation on this, the Cabinet should take disciplinary action for breaching its own decision,” he said during the Minister’s Question Time session in the Dewan Rakyat here today.The Prime Minister said this in response to a supplementary question from Datuk Awang Hashim , who asked whether the government is prepared to stop practices such as announcing new projects in areas involved in elections.
