Fauziah is not our whistleblower

The alleged whistleblower in the awarding of tender of the Ampang LRT extension project to George Kent Bhd is not Finance Ministry senior officer Fauziah Yaacob.

This was revealed by Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin and PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli who condemned Umno bloggers for targeting Fauziah andalleging she is the whistleblower.

"I can confirm today that Fauziah is not the alleged whistleblower in the George Kent affair. Perhaps she is an easy target because she is the only female in the committee,” Rafizi (right) said.

Zuraida, who is also PKR Wanita chief, has also condemned the attacks on Fauziah and said displaying the latter’s photograph in the blog in making the allegation was uncalled for.

"It is an attempt to silence civil servants from giving information to the opposition where else there may be problems in giving out the award.

"It seems Umno also does not respect the career of civil servants doing their job. I can verify that Fauziah is not the individual who handed the documents to PKR," Zuraidah said.
