No intention to deceive MOF, govt to secure Jana Wibawa project - witness

Lian says Metrasys never applied for govt project.

The Deputy Secretary-General (Policy) of the Finance Ministry, Datuk Zamzuri Abdul Aziz, testified that the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) was involved in the government's procurement process for the Jana Wibawa programme. The PMO submitted a list of 54 proposed contractors to the Finance Ministry, which later led to the re-evaluation of a Bumiputera contractor that had initially failed its assessment.

Zamzuri confirmed that the PMO provided additional information on KCJ Engineering, which initially failed the Finance Ministry's evaluation, on February 3, 2021. This involvement by the PMO in the procurement process for KCJ Engineering, which was ultimately awarded a RM62 million contract for a road project in Negeri Sembilan, is a key point in former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's power abuse and money laundering trial.
