KUALA LUMPUR: Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has been informed that the development of super drones or flying cars is not the government’s priority at the moment.
PAC Chairman Wong Kah Woh said that the cooperative and enterprise development ministry was focusing instead on developing entrepreneurship, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and micro-enterprises.
He said the matter had been clarified by the secretary general of the ministry, Suriani Ahmad, when he presented the follow-up action to a PAC report on November 11.
“The presentation of the ministry to the PAC was made following the recommendations of the PAC report on the development of air mobility, which was presented at the Dewan Rakyat on November 28, 2019,” it said today in a statement.
He said that PAC was satisfied with the Malaysian Government and Industry Group for High Tech audit which found that there was no investment of RM20 million made by its subsidiary VentureTECH Sdn Bhd (VTSB) to develop the flying cars.
“The PAC also found that VTSB’s investment agreement document had clearly stipulated that VTSB’s RM20 million investment could not be used for flying car-related purposes,” he added.
