Decision to increase special lottery draws not raised in Cabinet, says Takiyuddin
PAS secretary-general and ex-law minister Takiyuddin Hassan says the party's representatives in government voiced their protest after they learnt about the decision.
PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan has stated that the decision to increase the number of special lottery draws to 22 times a year was not discussed during the Cabinet meeting. The matter, according to Hassan, falls under the purview of the finance ministry. PAS representatives in the government expressed their protest only after becoming aware of the decision.
The decision to increase the special draws, which have their roots in 1999, was reportedly part of the government's collective responsibility during the past administration. The current administration has since reduced the number of draws to eight times a year.
