KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 — Public Accounts Committee chairman Wong Kah Woh today reminded Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that the committee was only carrying out its duty entrusted by Dewan Rakyat in ensuring that the expenditure of the people’s money is protected in connection with the littoral combat ships scandal.

“As PAC Chairman, I will not allow the name of national security to be used arbitrarily and simply to prevent the people from knowing real information about how the government spends their money,” he said. "For the record, Ahmad Zahid did not make any amendments, corrections, or cuts to any information given in the proceedings he attended,” Wong said.

Besides that, Wong gave an example of how the PAC handles sensitive information, citing the PAC Proceedings related to the Procurement of the Covid-19 Vaccine and its Use Against Malaysians, in which it reached an agreement with Khairy Jamaluddin, then minister of Science, Technology and Information, to remove the procurement price of Covid-19 vaccines from Hansard.
