While there has been a lot of criticism on the lack of explanation to drop the graft charges against former Penang chief minister and present Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, a deputy minister feels there is no requirement under the law to explain this.

Mohamad Hanipa Maidin, who is a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department and in charge of law, said in response to Permatang Pauh MP and PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar that he also disagrees with the suggestion that MACC be granted powers to prosecute.
