DATUK Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong is questioning whether channelling funds to a trust fund instead of an existing body under Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) is in line with the Educational Institutions Act 1996.
“I would also like to ask if you set up a trust fund for TAR UC, with the ‘owner’ even unaware, it’s as if you are creating another body to replace an existing one, ” the Ayer Hitam MP said while debating Budget 2020 for the Education Ministry at the committee stage.
“If a minister can announce something that is not listed under the Budget, how can it be channelled to an alumni body?He also wanted the Education Ministry to explain which alumni body could receive the matching grant under the Budget.He then continued by questioning the need to appoint a representative from the Finance Ministry to the TAR UC trust fund to be managed by TAA.
“I am prepared to give my explanation, similar to the Finance Minister, ” he said, and suggested a televised debate on the issue.
