Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil will be taking a three-week break from her duties as women, family, and community development minister starting today.
In a statement yesterday, Shahrizat said this was to facilitate investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into her possible involvement in the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) case. “I have submitted my request for leave to
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak,” she said.Meanwhile, MACC investigation director Datuk Mustafar Ali said it was finalising investigation papers on the NFC case, before making a recommendation to the Attorney-General's Chambers.
Shahrizat's husband Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Salleh Ismail is the executive chairman of NFC and their three children are also directors of the company. The controversy surrounding NFC started after the Auditor-General's 2010 Report described the project as "messy" and said it had failed to meet targets set by the government.

My comment:
Why can't she leave/quit her position straight away rather than going on leave to create more mess. She already lost the GE12 to a young leader. In addition, a goverment project should be lead by public and not by her own family member. What kind of Corporate Governance is that.
