Figure of RM27.5m for shoes inaccurate - Defence Minister

Share
Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Defence Minister has come out to clarify the purchase of leather shoes for the female personnel in the ministry which amounted to RM27.5million as reported in the government’s MyProcurement portal saying that the figure was a mistake and that there has not been such an amount spent to purchase the footwear.

This is not the first mistake found on the portal which was revealed by Tony Pua, the Member of Parliament of Petaling Jaya Utara who had said “We know the prime minister's wife aims to make Malaysia the Shoe Capital of the East but surely, a RM27.5 million purchase of ladies’ footwear for civilian staff is not the way to achieve the goal? We would like to call upon the minister of defence to explain this incredible shopping spree for ladies shoes for his ministry.” In his defence, Zahid said “It is not for the public, it is not correct. We bought it as part of the army uniform for the women but the amount is not that much. It was a mistake in the MyProcurement portal,”
