Muhyiddin graft trial: Nepturis got RM16.4mil for police HQ, court told
KUALA LUMPUR: Construction company Nepturis Sdn Bhd received RM16.4 million from the government for the Klang North District Police Headquarters project in Selangor under the Jana Wibawa programme, the High Court heard today.
In a recent court hearing, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, a construction company, was revealed to have received RM16.4 million from the Selangor government for the Klang North District Police Headquarters project under the Jana Wibawa programme. The payments, amounting to RM141 million, were confirmed by Lokman Nasir, the 62-year-old former Selangor Public Works Department (PWD) director.
The payments were made through eight transactions between May 17, 2022, and February 3, 2023, and were confirmed to be under the Home Ministry's jurisdiction. The trial also revealed that Nepturis was asked to channel RM1 million to Bersatu in 2022, but the managing director, Mohd Rizman Akum Khan, testified that he was unaware of the purpose of the payment, having received instructions from company co-owner Lian Tian Chuan, known as TC Lian.
The charges against former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin include allegations of using his position to obtain bribes and receiving proceeds from unlawful activities totaling RM200 million, with RM200 million allegedly derived from Bukhary Equity Bhd, which was deposited into Bersatu's bank account.
