PUTRAJAYA: Local government development minister Nga Kor Ming has brushed off Umno Youth’s call for him to explain why DAP’s logo was present on mock donation cheques issued to several schools in Ipoh.
“No issue. What’s most important is that the schools receive the donation,” he told reporters after an event at the ministry’s headquarters here.
On Saturday, it was reported that 17 Chinese primary and secondary schools in Perak were granted an allocation of RM1.8 million for repair and upgrading work.
Nga, who is also the Perak DAP chairman, was present to hand over the mock cheques to the schools.
Photographs of the presentation showed the DAP logo on the mock cheques, alongside the logos of Pakatan Harapan and Malaysia Madani, with the national coat of arms.
Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh urged Nga to explain why DAP’s logo was present on the cheques, asking if the funds were from the government or the party.
