Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng says he needed more time to study a letter purportedly issued by his ministry about an RM450 million project allegedly awarded through direct negotiation in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.<br /><br />"Was it (letter) signed by me? Was it signed by me?" he asked after a reporter questioned him about the letter which was signed by an official under the acquisitions department of the Finance Ministry.<br /><br />After confirming that it was not signed by him, Lim said he needs to do an "assessment" first as the letter was not signed by him.
