The powerful Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will summon Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz and Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin over the government's plans for the MySejahtera application.

In a statement today, PAC chairperson Wong Kah Woh said matters concerning MySejahtera must be explained in a transparent matter before the committee because it involved government procurement and the safety of personal data.

The PAC is a bipartisan committee with an explicit mandate to scrutinise government finances. It has the power to summon witnesses for hearings and provide feedback, to which government agencies must respond to.
