AP issue continues to haunt Rafidah


THE issue of unfair allocation of approved permits (APs) for imported cars continued to haunt former International Trade and Industry Minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz when the matter came up again during the debate on the Budget.

Mohamed Azmin Ali (PKR – Gombak) alleged that APs were given to Rafidah’s relatives after a committee chaired by the then Miti secretary-general Tan Sri Sidek Hassan decided not to stop awarding franchise APs in 2005.
