‘No accountability’ not acceptable in ventilator procurement


PETALING JAYA: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on ventilator procurement has raised its own set of questions, especially since the purchase seemed to go beyond the expertise and function of Pharmaniaga Logistics Sdn Bhd (PLSB).

Galen Centre CEO Azrul Mohd Khalib asked who instructed PLSB, a subsidiary of pharmaceutical company Pharmaniaga Bhd, to make the purchase and who recommended the Chinese company that supplied the 136 ventilators to health facilities under the Health Ministry between April 1, 2020 and May 19, 2020.
