Cabinet meeting in Kuching nothing extraordinary, says Najib

The federal cabinet meeting in Petrajaya, Kuching, today is nothing extraordinary because each minister has responsibilities at the state level, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

He said this was different from the presence of state leaders like Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng who is in Sarawak for the sole purpose of campaigning.

"If the opposition wants to make this an issue, I wish to remind their leaders like Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, that he has no powers outside Penang but is here only for campaigning purposes.

"Each minister has ministerial responsibilities in each state. Ministers will look into work done by their respective ministries, problems of the people, do monitoring, effectiveness of policies, and projects approved by the government," he told a press conference after chairing the weekly cabinet meeting at Wisma Bapa Malaysia (the Sarawak state secretariat building).

The prime minister said the purpose of holding the meeting in Kuching was to show support for and symbolise the close ties with Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem and the state government led by Sarawak BN.
