On Monday, Tengku Zafrul said that procurement via direct negotiations can be implemented if it is an urgent requirement which could affect government services and interest. Former Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has said that tenders via direct negotiations had been discussed by the Cabinet. However, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that the matter was never discussed as claimed.
