THE Government has defended the awarding of a multi-billion ringgit power plant project to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), saying that it was done via competitive bidding.
Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili dismissed claims by Rafizi Ramli (PKR-Pandan) that the estimated RM11bil contract was given to 1MDB without any bidding.
