Daim: Najib neglected good advice from EPU

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Daim Zainuddin (pic) has questioned whether a personal emissary of the former prime minister, who works on his own, was involved in direct discussions and negotiations on the old East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) contract.“Was it a personal emissary of the former PM or was it an official representative of the government, as should have been the case,” he said.

Daim asked whether the personal emissary directly negotiated with China and China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC), resulting in the old ECRL deal being inked at a hefty cost and devoid of transparency and accountability.
