Jana Wibawa recipients deposited RM25.3mil into Bersatu accounts, court told
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has uncovered evidence that individuals and companies awarded projects under the Jana Wibawa programme deposited RM25.3 million into Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) bank accounts, according to a report by the New Straits Times. This revelation was made during the High Court trial of former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who faces seven charges of abuse of power and money laundering involving the Jana Wibawa programme.
The investigation found that the transactions were linked to KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, Sutracom Sdn Bhd, and KCJ Engineering director Datuk Seri Azman Yusoff, with Muhyiddin identified as one of the individuals controlling the Bersatu accounts. The MACC's investigation revealed that the deposits were not political donations but were instead a form of compensation for Muhyiddin's alleged role in securing these projects for the companies.
