The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has reportedly only met 9 times, compared to 60 times in the same period last year.
This raises some questions, as to who is going to keep our government’s finances in check, because that is the main role of the PAC. Wong Kah Woh, PAC Deputy Chairman and Ipoh Timur MP gives an update on the situation.
