KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has halted approvals for the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) to use the Selected Pre-Qualified Open Tender (TTPKT) method for new projects following findings in the Auditor-General’s Report (LKAN) 2/2025.

The ministry said the TTPKT method was introduced in 2023 as a special procedure to expedite the implementation of high-impact projects for the public and remained in place until June 30, 2025, with several enhancements aimed at strengthening government procurement governance.

“However, the Auditor-General’s Report 2/2025 found that that the implementation of the TTPKT method, including by the KKDW, had not achieved the government’s original objectives,” the ministry said in a written reply published on Parliament’s portal.
