  "summary": "The High Court was informed that the Ministry of Finance (MOF) received instructions from higher-ups to only process recommendations from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) for projects under the Jana Wibawa Programme. Datin Rosni Mohd Yusoff, the Government Investment Companies Division Secretary at the ministry, testified that these instructions came from the PMO's office to the Minister of Finance's Office, which then gave instructions to the Procurement Division through her and Datuk Zamzuri Abdul Aziz. Rosni further explained that she carried out the evaluation based on these instructions, as there were no documents showing direct instructions from Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.",
