The MACC must explain why no action has been taken thus far against Deputy Defence Minister Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz for recommending his own son to the board of Pharmaniaga Bhd, said DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
"Ikmal recommending his own son (Ikmal Hazlan) as a Pharmaniaga director (to Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob) is a perfect toxic cocktail of abuse of power, corruption and nepotism emerging in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government," said Lim in a statement today.
"There is no doubt that MACC should investigate and take action because what Ikmal has done is to solicit for a position which benefited his son by using his position as a deputy defence minister."
He pointed out that Ikmal had not only admitted that he wrote the letter of recommendation but that he was wrong and would withdraw his recommendation.
