He explained that such contracts are allowed under five specific circumstances:Emergency services which if delayed could disrupt services or affect national interest.Ensuring uniformity to ensure compatibility between existing equipment and newly-acquired equipment.Where a service or supply only has one source.Matters concerning national security or strategic interest.A contract involving a bumiputera manufacturer which complies with requirements.The Transport Ministry topped the list by quantum. Among the directly-negotiated contracts are for the hosting the Langkawi International Maritime Aerospace Exhibition 2019 (Lima '19), renewal of services for a flight recorder laboratory by the ministry's Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), printer toner supplies, and Phase 2 of the Klang Valley double-tracking project.Examples of "emergency" contracts included three catering contracts sought by the Home Ministry to provide halal food for police personnel stationed at the Sri Maha Mariamman in USJ, Selangor, which was the site of civil unrest in late November 2018 and the protest against the International Convention to Eliminate Racial Discrimination (Icerd)
Those three contracts amounted to RM498,871.70
Contracts for specialised services included the RM29.9 million bill picked up by the Communications and Multimedia Ministry for the rights to broadcast the Fifa World Cup in 2018
