He said in nation-building efforts, political interference in the work of the enforcement body should not take place. I make sure there is no (political) interference and we have not had such experience in our work. Any interference will affect our work and we will be an untrustworthy team and (this) will certainly affect the good name of the government and the ruling party. This is not the case in our time. In our time now, the disclosure of information is so transparent where the public observes and sees what we have done so far, he said while appearing as a panellist on TV3 s Soal Rakyat programme which discussed the topic Kartel Projek Merugikan Rakyat (Project Tender Cartel is Detrimental to The People), here, Saturday (April 10).
