Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said his portfolio encompassed more than just mere bookkeeping as alleged by MCA deputy president Wee Ka Siong.<br /><br />"If you want to say I am a bookkeeper because I am in charge of the accountant-general, it is okay.<br /><br />"But I'm also in charge of the customs. I'm also a 'customs keeper'. I'm also in charge of LHDN (inland revenue board), I'm also a taxman. I'm also in charge of other agencies...<br /><br />"I play many roles,” the DAP secretary-general told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.<br /><br />Last week, Wee (BN - Ayer Hitam) told the Dewan Rakyat that the finance minister's powers have been diluted.
