DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has questioned the inaction of the police and anti-graft agency against the administrators of the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) when de facto law minister Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz has made a “damning indictment” against the firm.

Despite Nazri’s claim that the alleged abuse of the RM250 million government loan was tantamount to “constructive breach of trust”, Lim said, little has been done to nab those responsible.

“Nazri has made it clear that NFC has breached its loan conditions and committed constructive breach of trust by utilising public funds... to purchase luxury condominiums worth millions,” said Lim.

The minister’s comments have raised the controversial issue to “a new sensational level”, said Lim, but the public is baffled over why no action has been taken against those responsible.

In December last year, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission formed a special task force headed by investigations director Mustafar Ali, while the police have submitted their investigation papers to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for further action.

“There has been a merry-go-round of investigations and shifting of responsibilities but not a single action taken.

Lim, who is also the Penang chief minister, reminded the government that corruption can be kept at bay if open tenders are held before projects are sourced out.

Yesterday, Nazri told reporters “there was a constructive breach of trust” as funds dedicated for the cattle farming project were used for different purposes.

“It was specifically for a project that could raise cattle and the produce to be sold at a cheaper price,” said Nazri, as reported by the New Straits Times .

On Sunday, Nazri urged the company to return the RM250 million of federal funds, adding that the public would not be satisfied otherwise.
