KUALA LUMPUR: Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil today said she had nothing to do with the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) issue.Hence, the Wanita Umno chief said, at the Umno general assembly this week, she would not respond on the NFC issue which had been raised by the opposition.
“I will not clarify (on the NFC issue) but there will be two messages I would like to convey at the Wanita Umno assembly to those outside. Let’s wait. As a leader, we need to be patient and calm, and not get easily hysterical.
“If anyone wants to ask about the NFC, they should ask the NFC people. I will only be focusing on Wanita Umno,” she said at a news conference in conjunction with the upcoming Umno general assembly 2011 at the Putra World Trade Centre, here, today.
Shahrizat said she would, however, not stop any delegate from debating on the NFC issue at the Wanita Umno assembly on Wednesday.
The Auditor-General’s Report 2011 stated that the NFC was in a mess and had failed to fulfil the objectives of its establishnment, while the opposition has alleged misappropriation of the RM250 million government allocation for the NFC, whose executive chairman is Shahrizat’s husband, Mohamad Salleh Ismail.
Also present at the news conference was Wanita Umno vice-chief Kamilia Ibrahim.
