Intriguingly the Maharajah (I meant the comedian) Peter Chin came ot with the clarification that the government cannot compel the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to be made public as they are signed by private entities. On the other hand, DPM stressed that for now, there’s no such proposal yet to declassify the agreements (only God knows, why in the first place it was classified under Official Secrets Act, a PPA is a legal contract between an electricity generator and a power purchaser. It is likely that the PPA would detail rates and price of fuel purchased by Petronas, the national oil and gas company) so we have not made a decision, he further added that the government had nothing to hide.(Yes Sir we completely believed you).“We don’t want people to say that the government is hiding something or denying access to information to whatever that was already mutually agreed…(Aren't it crystal clear that the Government is indeed trying to hide something....mmmhhh...something fishy is definitely going on) “But of course there will always be a review from time to time. Whether we want the PPA to be an open document, we shall see first, whether there’s a need for it,” he told reporters. But wait a second.......... Maharaja Chin said otherwise....
He said that the PPA is signed between several independent power producers (IPP) and national utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).He further claimed that his Ministry fully support if both parties agreed to make the documents public.Whom do we trust? The DPM or the Minister......Sigh! Both statements issued by two importang people holding critical post in the Goverrnment...GOD help us......ciao...a.h.baharom
