On August 18, a senior Finance Ministry (MOF) officer testified in the power abuse and money laundering trial of former Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) had proposed contractors for Jana Wibawa government projects. The officer, Datin Rosni Mohd Yusoff, revealed that her committee evaluated the contractors based on proposals received from the PMO before awarding the contracts.
She clarified that the PMO was the sole source for the list of contractors and projects under the Jana Wibawa programme, stating that no company was appointed without the PMO's proposal and subsequent MOF evaluation. Rosni mentioned that KCJ Engineering, Sutracom, and Nepturis were awarded contracts for various Jana Wibawa projects, including a RM62 million road construction project, a RM605.2 million highway project, and a RM141 million police headquarters building.
The officer also explained that KCJ Engineering had initially failed the evaluation process but was later approved after the PMO provided additional information. The trial continues with more evidence and testimonies expected.
