Lian Tan Chuan, a director of Metrasys Sdn Bhd, testified in a corruption trial that former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin never personally requested a donation of RM1 million from him or Bersatu. The director made this admission during cross-examination by lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad. Lian also confirmed that he had never met Muhyiddin before instructing his business partner, Aliza Abd Malek, to create letters of interest for five companies seeking projects under the Jana Wibawa program.
He testified that no one was aware of the individuals behind the letters, and that he believed Muhyiddin contributed to the project's support because Nepturis, which he co-founded, received a Letter of Acceptance from the Public Works Department.
