PUTRAJAYA: The RM7bil that has been approved for flood mitigation initiatives will not proceed and will undergo a review, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said this was because it was found that it was approved through direct negotiation and not through tender. "We will have this reviewed so that there will be transparency. Anwar has assumed the post of Finance Minister in his 28-member Cabinet line-up. The previous administration had announced a Flood Mitigation Plan worth RM15bil until 2030 as a long-term strategy to adapt to climate change facing the country.
