KUALA LUMPUR: No consideration paper was ever tabled before the Perlis executive council to approve the conversion of former mentri besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man’s (pic) overseas leave entitlement into cash payments between 2013 and 2017, the Sessions Court here was told.

Former Perlis assembly and council secretary Norazlan Yahya, 52, testified that under the Members of the Administration and Legislative Assembly (Remuneration) Enactment 1980, all allowances and privileges of the mentri besar must be approved by the council, effective Jan 1, 1992.
