KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 27): The recommendations made by the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) will not be revealed to the public as its function is to report to the country's Prime Minister, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"It is government business. When we make a decision in government, it does not need to be made public," said the prime minister.
The report contains information that he needs to make decisions, he told the press at Cities 4.0 + Business 4.0 conference here this morning.
"The CEP has volunteered the time to do work that I otherwise have to do. The work that I have to do, I cannot even finish," said Dr Mahathir.
The prime minister pointed out that he could not work well with some senior government officials, noting that his previous administration had "no crooks".
"We have (government officials) who have been subverted by (former prime minister Datuk Seri) Najib (Razak). I can't work with them, but I don't have time to sort out who should be taken action against," he said when explaining why the need for the CEP to carry out its duty.
