“As long as the tender is still open, anyone can submit their tender, anyone can see me to participate, and I was fulfilling my responsibility by writing that letter of support for Nafas,” he told reporters during a press conference here after opening the Department of Fisheries’ 125th anniversary celebration at the Fisheries Research Institute in Batu Maung.

“It is managed by the ministry for our farmers so do not equate Nafas bidding for the project as for ourselves. This is to benefit the farmers,” he said. He alleged that the companies were suddenly told that their tenders were cancelled and that the projects were awarded through direct negotiation.“We do everything according to procedure. There is no proof that we cancelled tenders that had been offered,” he said.

He brushed aside Wee’s allegations of a “RM1.4 billion scandal” by pointing out that none of the money went into his personal account.

SPRM! Sila siasat!Ada kuasa kah duit sebanyak itu yg yg ditawar kepada NAFAS yg tidak ada proses tender yg telus boleh dilaksanakan? Apa dah jadi Tun dan juga Salah-Undi Ayub ni? Samalah juga mcm BN dulu? Apa bezanya?Wang rakyat digunakan membayar bilik hotel dan lain2? Ok kah?

Direct nego is supposed to be wrong. You said direct nego leads to ketirisan and cronyism. Why is it right this time, Pakatan Harapan?
