KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng today shot down claims that his role is that of a mere "book keeper” under the Pakatan Harapan administration, stressing that he also is in charge of other agencies in Putrajaya.

"I’m also in charge of customs, so I’m a Customs guy. I’m also in charge of the Inland Revenue Board, so I am the taxman,” Lim told reporters in Parliament in response to the claim made by MCA deputy chief Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.

Wee had alleged that Lim’s role in the Cabinet is that of a book keeper as many key agencies had been assigned to Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.

"He is only focusing on one aspect and not other aspects related to the Ministry,” Lim said.

Lim said that Wee was entitled to his opinions.

"I am the one in charge of (the Finance Ministry). He never was,” he added.
