Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching |
She said: "Stop emailing me to ask for contracts. Because I can't. Please stop asking letter of support from me. Because I won't issue any.
"We hate Jho Low. And I do not have any intention to become Mrs. Kleptocrat.
"You voted for Pakatan Harapan because you wanted a clean government, didn't you? she posted on her Facebook today.
The post attached photos of an email and a letter, asking Teo for her support on a project. The letter sought the deputy minister's support for the company's bid to supply food to boarding schools in Kelantan.
The Harapan government is publicly against closed tenders and under-table dealings. At a coalition fundraiser on December 9, Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said donors, including those who spent hundred of thousands to buy portraits of leaders, will not be getting any special treatment.
"To those who contributed tonight or bought the tables, I want to apologize as there will be no special treatment for you.
"If you want to get something from the government, the way is to compete through open tender process. If the offer you make is good, you might win (the contract)," Dr. Mahathir had said.
Previously Romli Ishak, the political secretary of Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, was accused of writing a support letter for a caterer.
Romli, however, denied that the document, printed using the Deputy Prime Minister's Office letterhead, was a support letter, but said it was merely a "referral" for a party member who bid for the contract.
