ANSWER​

Yang Berhormat Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan dan Ekonomi II​

Thank you Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua,

Thank you for Question PL265 by Yang Berhormat Dayang Chong Chin Yee. For the information of the Honourable Member, the question regarding the mechanism of moderate interest charges or compensation to address the situation where government payments to suppliers are delayed is related to question PL280 raised on 4 August 2025 and had been raised during the First Legislative Council session of the 21st Meeting Season, year 2025, with its answer on 10 March 2025.

Therefore, for the information of Your Honourable Members, generally the compensation mechanism referred to is indeed inserted in any contract or claim invoice between the Government and the supplier and must be agreed upon by both parties either at the time the contract is signed or upon acceptance of the offer.

That is all, thank you Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua.
