PETALING JAYA: Their penchant for crunching numbers has landed DAP MPs Tony Pua and Dr Ong Kian Ming a half-year stint with the Finance Ministry. Both men have been appointed as special officers to the new Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng for the next six months. “We have been appointed with no pay and we are just basically helping out,” said Pua here yesterday. Dr Ong said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad approved of their appointments, noting, however, that this was temporary. “We will be based at the ministry unless sent elsewhere by the Prime Minister,” he added.
