PAS leader Takiyuddin Hassan has challenged the Finance Minister's account of how decisions regarding lottery draws were made, asserting that the matter was settled within the Finance Ministry rather than being presented to cabinet for deliberation.
Takiyuddin's statement appears to dispute Zafrul Azwar Aziz's version of events surrounding the handling of the issue, with the PAS figure insisting that no formal cabinet discussion took place on the matter.
The disagreement between the two political figures underscores differing recollections of the decision-making process, with Takiyuddin emphasizing that the Finance Ministry had already determined the course of action independently.
The dispute highlights ongoing questions about governance procedures and the clarity of communication between different levels of Malaysia's government administration on matters affecting public revenue and policy.
