SHAH ALAM - Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli will provide answers regarding the issue on government initiatives, including the People's Income Initiative (IPR) that was claimed to be Perikatan Nasional's (PN) idea.

Rafizi said the matter would be explained through social media platforms tonight in ‘Suka Menanti’ programme.

He said the claims made by former senior education minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin in a programme was ‘crazy talk’.

“Insya-Allah, I will answer in a talk tonight (Wednesday) in Suka Menanti. Watch it on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or TikTok at 10.50pm.

“Radzi Jidin’s spouting crazy talk to take credit. It’s simple for PN, everything ‘was planned but not implemented’,” he said in a tweet on Wednesday.

Previously a viral video showed Radzi claiming several government initiatives including the project to eradicate extreme poverty that was named IPR was implemented by former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed under the PN government.

Radzi claimed the PN leadership prepared the base data for those receiving aid by the government now lead by the unity government.
