Set up special committee to monitor allocation to avoid another scandal, says Putatan Umno division chief


KOTA KINABALU: A special committee should be established by the government to monitor the additional allocation under the 12th Malaysia Plan mid-term review (12MP MTR) to address the water woes in Sabah.

Putatan Umno division chief Jeffrey Nor Mohamed said this was to prevent a repeat of the corruption scandal that allegedly took place in the Sabah Water Department involving millions of ringgit in 2016.
