Northern Region News April 30, 2012 17:33 PM Kedah Gerakan Seeks Explanation On RM500 Million Open Tender ALOR SETAR, April 30 (Bernama) -- Kedah Gerakan is seeking an explanation from the state government on allegations it granted the Aman Central project open tender to a private company. The party's youth movement chief Tan Keng Liang said the RM500 million shopping complex project was supposed to have been handled by Bina Darulaman Berhad, a subsidiary of Kedah State Development Corporation. "The land had been given to the corporation earlier, so why was the tender given to another private company," he questioned during a press conference at Gerakan's Alor Setar office here Monday. He issued an ultimatum to Kedah menteri besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak saying they expected an explanation in a week. "I give a week, until next Monday, for the menteri besar to explain the matter and if he fails to do so I will raise the issues of other projects which were granted without open tenders," he said. -- BERNAMA
