PRIOR to a few weeks ago, the only negativity standing in the way, of the most powerful Minister after the Prime Minister, was that the 61 year old Saifuddin Nasution is not an elected by the people, member of the Dewan Rakyat.
THAT though has changed for the worst, with the ministry's READ : RM81 million one year contract extension.
AT this point, it is still yet to be confirmed if what had happened while the contract extension was being deliberated and then awarded, hasn't been a well soiled plan by the Corporate Mafia to embarrassing the minister.
WHAT happened was the appointment of READ : Puvanesan Subenthiran, first as non executive director and his rapid fire promotion as Executive Director.
PUVANESAN Subenthiran is also the managing director of the now infamous Privasia Bhd READ: which received a RM1.2 billion 5G related contract one day after Parliament was dissolved.
APART from having no experience in a 5G project of such magnitude, the other red flag was Priasia's partner Apex Communications Sdn Bhd, whose bread and butter is actually providing laboratory equipment to local schools.
THE contract never did see the day of light thanks to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who has been at the forefront of cleaning up the Government.
NOBODY from the Communication Ministry has been charged in court for attempting to give Privasia a RM1.2 billion free lunch.
BUT now, here we have a very embarrassing situation for the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, because his home ministry is now doing business with Datasonic, in which the very controversial Puvanesan Subenthiran is the executive director.
IN anyway, we choose to see it, Puvanesan Subenthiran is either a witness or even a friendly party to a group of yet to be charged people, who sought to hoodwink Malaysia to the tune of RM1.2 billion.
