Sepanggar MP Azis Jamman has demanded an explanation from Putrajaya on the rationale behind awarding the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road project without an open tender process worth RM1.13 billion.<br /><br />Speaking to reporters in Parliament today, Azis said his research showed that the deal does not fulfil any of the government regulations for a direct award: Urgency, single supply source, security or to assist bumiputera businesses.
