RM350,000 dalam beg kertas diberi kepada bekas setpol menteri, mahkamah diberitahu

On December 1, 2020, a witness testified before the Sessions Court that former Deputy Minister Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Al Sayed Mohamad asked him to pay RM350,000 in cash for a 5% commission, following NXG's securing of a police project tender. NXG's manager Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof, 51, recounted the conversation, which took place at NXG's old office in Shah Alam, when Wan Azhar was at the company's headquarters.

"Sayed called me and asked, 'Can you pay RM350k? I need the money, cash,'" the witness said, explaining that he informed Sayed he could pay but not in a lump sum. The witness also confirmed that he agreed to pay Sayed twice, with RM100,000 and RM250,000 in installments on December 4 and 8, 2020, respectively. Upon receiving the cash, the witness handed over RM100,000 in a paper bag to Sayed around 4:00 PM on December 4, 2020, and another RM250,000 in a paper bag on December 16, 2020, at 3:30 PM.
