Zuraida claims contracts approved without her knowledge

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin claimed that she was unaware of the two contracts worth RM170 million awarded through direct negotiation by her ministry during the Pakatan Harapan era.

"I would like to emphasise that the projects were approved without my knowledge.

"As such, I give my assurance that the ministry would probe the issue," the former PKR leader said in a statement this afternoon.
