Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has declined to comment on a revelation that a cabinet meeting chaired by him back when he was the deputy prime minister had approved without discussion controversial Finance Ministry memoranda on SRC International.
“I don't want to respond here. I am not going to respond here,” he said when asked after his ministry’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house in Serdang today.
Pressed on whether the cabinet at the time was partially responsible for the SRC International affair, Muhyiddin again declined to answer.
“I don't want to respond here because this is a case in court. This is outside of court.
“Let's wait for whatever is the outcome (of the trial),” he said.
During the SRC International trial this week, former cabinet deputy chief secretary Mazidah Abdul Majid testified that the cabinet had in 2011 and 2012 authorised former finance minister and prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to determine the terms and conditions of SRC International's two loans, totalling RM4 billion.
Based on her meeting minutes, Mazidah said that Muhyiddin had chaired a cabinet meeting on May 16, 2012, in Najib’s absence - which saw a memorandum on SRC adopted without any deliberation.
