BN needs Opposition’s help to fight graft

By LEE YUK PENG

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional needs the co-operation of the Opposition to fight graft, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Aziz.

He said fighting graft was the top priority of Barisan’s 2004 manifesto but it was impossible to do it in a short time.

“What has been done so far clearly shows our battle against corruption. I hope you will give your co-operation. We need co-operation from the Opposition to fight graft,” he said in Dewan Rakyat, responding to a question by Lim Kit Siang (DAP - Ipoh Timur) on whether the Government has the political will and commitment to fight graft.

Lim said until now those allegedly involved in high profile corruption cases remain scot-free.
