KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 — Lim Kit Siang said today that Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil’s leave should be extended as the minister is yet to be cleared of any impropriety in the ongoing National Feedlot Centre (NFC) scandal.
The DAP adviser pointed out that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had not exonerated the Wanita Umno chief while the latter herself had failed to rebut any of the many allegations made against her since the scandal hit media headlines.
“As the purpose of her ministerial leave has not been achieved, shouldn’t her Cabinet leave be extended until a clear answer is available?” Lim(picture) asked in a statement here.
