PUTRAJAYA: There are still 689 issues highlighted in previous Auditor-General's reports that have not been resolved, says Datuk Seri Nik Azman Nik Abdul Majid.

The Auditor-General said these cases, some dating as far back as 2016, had been marked with an "in action" status.

Among the yet-to-be resolved issues involve compensation for the Penang Second Bridge and another pertaining to compensation involving KLIA2.

Nik Azman said no deadline had been given for issues to be settled as they were aware that some issues were complicated and involved many parties.

"For example, issues that have not been resolved by a ministry may depend on action by another ministry to enable it to clear the matter," he said at a press conference on Thursday (Feb 16).

He said that some issues could not be fixed quickly due to the restructuring of ministries.

"When there is a Cabinet reshuffle, some components of a ministry are transferred to another ministry. This is another reason why there are delays," he explained.

Between 2011 and 2021, the Auditor-General's Report had highlighted a total of 10,910 issues at federal and state levels.

Of the number, 10,221 issues of 93.7% had been resolved, leaving 689 cases unsettled.
