KUALA LUMPUR, The decision to cancel the plans of a ministry and government agency to take 68 staff members to Berlin for an exhibition received the full backing of the Cabinet ministers, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He added that entering the second year of his administration, no minister or political party leaders in the Unity Government had ever disputed any of his governance-related decisions.

“In these two years, my team in the Unity Government and I have never had any minister or leader who disputed our decisions (such as) firstly, (projects) must be tendered, there must be no leakage.

“And recently, I slammed a government agency that wanted to send 68 people to an exhibition in Berlin. I received the full support of the Cabinet. This means that this is the first time in history that the Prime Minister has said there is no need to go,’ he said.

He said this at the Ilmuan MADANI Forum (FIM) here tonight.
