Kit Siang: RCI for NFC if Pakatan captures Putrajaya

DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang today pledged that Pakatan Rakyat will order a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the alleged misappropriation of a RM250 million government soft loan by the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) if it captures federal power.

"I have discussed with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and he has agreed that the Pakatan government in Putrajaya after the 13th GE, will establish a RCI into the NFC scandal if there is still no satisfactory accountability of the controversy," he said.

Lim (right) said this in a statement today after Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had said yesterday that there was no need for a RCI into the scandal.

"It smacks of conflict of interest on Muhyiddin's part and he should exclude himself from any decision-making as to whether there should be a RCI into the cattle condo scandal, instead of being so gung-ho in opposing the proposal."

Muhyiddin was then agriculture and agro-based industry minister when the country's mooted largest beef production centre in Gemas was approved.
