1. PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli alleges that several caretaker ministers are trying to award contracts worth billions of ringgit via direct negotiations.

Rafizi says this also involves the Environment and Water Ministry and a flood mitigation project worth RM2 billion. Image
2. The former Pandan MP claims that the project which is in the process of being awarded by KASA, is for phase 2 for a flood barrier at Sungai Langat.

This is allegedly the second project awarded the company, with the first being a project in Melaka worth almost RM579 million.
3. Rafizi also claims that the company was problematic, and had links to a figure close to Umno.

"This company has two bankruptcy petitions in court for not paying debts to contractors as per CCM records."

1. Pakatan Harapan has pledged to bring back its loan-guarantee programme for first-time house buyers, if it forms the next federal government in GE15.

PH introduced the scheme when it formed the government back in 2018, with RM1 billion allocated then. Image
2. Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran says PH will allocate RM3 billion this time, which will act as a guarantee for banks giving out the loans.

He also said PH will form a housing tribunal for landlords/tenants to file complaints on discrimination in the rental market.
3. "A tribunal would be superior to filing a case in court as the tribunal fees is cheaper. Tribunals also don’t require lawyers, saving thousands of ringgit in legal fees," Rajiv said.

"Tribunals are also more likely to come up with a verdict quickly," he added.

1. Twitter is reaching out to dozens of employees it just fired and asking them to come back, according to Bloomberg.

The company recently sacked around 50% of its 7,500 employees, following Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition. Image
2. Musk earlier tweeted that the mass layoffs were necessary, as the company was losing more than $4 million per day.

Many employees only realised they were sacked after their access to Slack and email systems were suddenly suspended.
3. According to Bloomberg, some of those being asked to come back were fired by mistake.

Others were laid off before the management realised that they were necessary to build the new features Musk is asking for.
