KUALA LUMPUR: The government has not decided on the cancellation of the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) contract awarded to Iris Corporation Bhd, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said the matter concerning the contract and the company had been discussed at the Cabinet meeting.

"It is true that the government discussed the matter following a Cabinet paper I presented at the meeting. However, the paper is merely an informative note rather than a memo. Besides, Cabinet ministers have not made a policy decision on the matter.

"The note presented was in the form of a report on the progress of the project.
