PETALING JAYA: The government must investigate “bombshell” revelations about the supply of medical drugs in the national health system, and review the procurement process, says Charles Santiago of DAP, who is incoming MP for Klang.

He said the government must investigate allegations that companies linked to politicians close to the previous government had control over the supply of billions of ringgit worth of medical drugs.

Santiago, who has been vocal on the issue of high prices of medicines, said the procurement process must be reviewed if investigations proved the accuracy of yesterday’s FMT expose.
