KUALA LUMPUR: The government must be cautious about deciding whether to reveal the report by the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) to the public, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He said this was because some of the CEP’s findings needed further investigations by the relevant authorities.
“It is to avoid the polemics which could affect the outcome of the investigations and confidence of investors.
“What is important (is that) all proposals for improvement which have been accepted are implemented in the best possible way for the well-being and economic stability of the country,” he said during the Ministers’ Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat sitting here today.
He was replying to a question from Ahmad Fahmi Mohamed Fadzil (PH-Lembah Pantai) who asked if the government was ready to publish the report by the CEP in accordance with the principles of transparency, responsibility and freedom of information so as to avoid lies and wrong perceptions by the public.
