#KiniNews | Guan Eng: Harapan blamed for BN's doing
Pakatan Harapan was only responsible for 5.3 percent of the directly awarded contracts worth RM6.6 billion mentioned by Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz yesterday.
At a press conference at the Parliament lobby today, former finance minister Lim Guan Eng said most of the RM6.61 billion went to legacy projects (67.7 percent) and contracts for supplies or services (26.5 percent) taken on during the BN administration.
He stressed that Harapan was only responsible for a fraction (0.07 percent) of the directly awarded contracts during its 22 months in power, which were mostly due to reasons that could not be avoided.

Without letter from PMO, Zahid apologises to court for 'misunderstanding' | Kini News - 3 Mar
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was unable to produce to the High Court a letter from the Prime Minister's Department which purportedly contained an invitation for a meeting with Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
"I wish to explain to Yang Arif about the letter. I have spoken to (the prime minister's) political secretary."
"Since he has yet to be officially appointed and taken his oath, therefore the invitation letter and the letter to explain the purpose of the meeting could not be issued by that officer," Zahid told Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
Following this, Justice Sequerah ruled that Zahid did not commit contempt and there might have been a miscommunication on the accused's part.
