- 5 years ago
International Trade and Industry Minister Darell Leiking has clarified that Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad did not deny appointing DreamEdge Sdn Bhd, the anchor company for the third national car project.
Darell said the prime minister only denied to being involved in the government's 2017 decision to invest in the company.
Previously, MCA president Wee Ka Siong then criticised the government for breaking its promise not to use public funds for the third national car project.
Wee said the direct links were clear as Venturetech Sdn Bhd was the largest shareholder in DreamEdge. Venturetech was fully owned by the Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (Might) which was in turn 100 percent owned by the government.
