Kuala Lumpur: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has recalled several witnesses from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah) for proceedings related to the management of public airports. PAC chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said they were summoned during proceedings held on Tuesday and yesterday to provide clarification and information on several issues identified from previous sessions.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, among the witnesses present were former EPF Chairman Tan Sri Ahmad Badri Mohd Zahir, EPF Chief Investment Officer Rohaya Yusof, Khazanah Board Member Goh Ching Yin, and Khazanah Executive Director Wong Shu Hsien. Mas Ermieyati emphasized that the PAC remains committed to continuing proceedings on the management of public airports, despite Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) being fully acquired by the Gateway Development Alliance (GDA) consortium, led by Khazanah Nasional, on February 22.

Mas Ermieyati stated that the PAC began proceedings on the issue on February 17, with eight sessions held so far. She also highlighted that the PAC will continue with proceedings on the increase in health insurance premium payments, private hospital charges, and their impact on public health under the Finance Ministry (MoF), Health Ministry (MoH), and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) from June 17 to 19.

She added that witnesses summoned include representatives from BNM, MoH, insurance companies, third-party administrators, the Association of Private Hospitals of Malaysia (APHM), and the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC).
