Hishammuddin: I am not my brother’s keeper

He added that should the authorities wish to investigate his brother, that they had his blessings.
hishammuddin-hussein1KUALA LUMPUR: Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has denied any involvement in the award of a RM77 million contract to his brother Haris Onn.
Hishammuddin also denied any knowledge about the contract being awarded to Lembah Sari Sdn Bhd, a company his brother owns, for the printing of security labels for liquor and beer for the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.
“I feel it’s better he explained it to you because I don’t know anything about the contract.
“If there are any irregularities, I will ask him about it,” he said in a press conference at the Parliament lobby.
He added that should the authorities wish to investigate his brother, that they had his blessings.
“I will not protect my brother. The authorities are free to investigate him if he is involved in anything shady.
“I will not defend him and let him speak for himself in regard to this case,” he said.
Hishammuddin also said his brother did not receive any contract under his ministry’s portfolio.
“I have principles. I will never award contracts under my portfolio to relatives.
“However, I have no say and I will not stop him if he is awarded a contract from a different ministry” he added.
This explanation came in the wake of questions put forward by Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua as to how such a huge contract was awarded to Hishammuddin’s brother.
