Opposition parliamentarian Mahfuz Omar has urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to probe contracts awarded by the Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Ministry to padi processing companies without the necessary facilities.
He accused the ministry of giving out such tenders to a company identified as Haji Md Nor Sdn Bhd.
"There were initially just four companies such as Padiberas Nasional Bhd and Syarikat Perniagaan Peladang (Mada) Sdn Bhd. But the ministry expanded that to 10 more companies and I was told that these companies have no padi processing plants," he said.
"Why give to those without processing plants? What good comes out from it if they have to send the padi somewhere else to be processed?" he asked.
