Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil today kept mum over questions on Umno and 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
She walked away after a reporter asked for views on controversies involving the government-owned strategic investment fund, 1MDB, and also refused to comment on Umno's position following repeated attacks against party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak's leadership.
Shahrizat was asked to comment on Umno in her capacity as head of the women's wing, but she refused when met by the press at an event in Damansara today, saying she was there in her role as adviser to the prime minister on women entrepreneurs and professional development.
She stepped down from the Cabinet post in 2012 after her senatorship was not renewed.
This came following allegations that she and her family had used a RM250 million federal loan earmarked for the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) to pay for personal expenses.
The cattle-rearing company was headed by her husband, Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail, and their three children.
It was ran the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) in Gemas, Negri Sembilan in 2006, when Shahrizat was a minister.
NFCorp hit the national headlines after it made it into the Auditor-General’s Report in 2011 for missing production targets.
Since then, the publicly-funded firm has been accused by the opposition bloc of using its government soft loan for purposes unrelated to cattle farming, including the purchase of multi-million ringgit luxury condominium units in Bangsar and Singapore.
