  "summary": "The government is being asked to explain the status of RM193.71 million in court bail funds held in a private company's bank account instead of being transferred to the Consolidated Trust Account. Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan questioned why the funds remained in the bank account of e-Jamin operator Dapat Vista (M) Sdn Bhd as of Dec 31, 2020, and who was responsible for ensuring the money was transferred. Takiyuddin also raised concerns about the e-Jamin system managing court bail transactions for five years without a formal contract with the government, and the potential discrepancy between the e-Jamin system's records and the company's bank statement. He emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and legal soundness in managing public money.",
