A court hears of a RM19 million project advisory agreement between MKM Solutions and Nexuscorpgroup for a PDRM tender worth RM381 million.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court was told of a project advisory agreement linked to a Royal Malaysia Police tender worth RM381 million.
A director testified that MKM Solutions Sdn Bhd had an agreement to assist Nexuscorpgroup Sdn Bhd in preparing tender documents for a PDRM maintenance and supply project.
MKM Ticketing Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd director Nik Shazni Farhan Nik Mohammad Shah said the agreement was valid for six months to secure the tender.
He stated the agreement’s value was 5% of the total contract, amounting to approximately RM19 million.
“The value of the agreement was five per cent of the total contract and it was determined by Datuk Seri Khairi himself,” said the 10th prosecution witness.
Nik Shazni Farhan said payment was to be made after the project commenced.
He was testifying in the trial of former political secretary Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Al Sayed Mohamad, who faces three corruption charges involving RM350,000.
The witness said he only received instructions to review the agreement documents and was not involved in negotiations.
He stated the agreement was signed by MKM Solutions’ Datuk Seri Khairi Mat Yahya and Nexuscorpgroup’s managing director Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof.
Nik Shazni Farhan said he knew the accused from around 2018 but was not close to him.
He added he only learned through media that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir was political secretary to the then home minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
During cross-examination, the witness agreed the business dealings were ‘genuine’ as a lawyer was appointed to prepare the agreement.
He maintained this view during re-examination, stating a licensed lawyer would not risk providing services for a non-genuine business.
Sayed Amir Muzzakkir was charged in May 2024 with receiving and soliciting bribes totalling RM350,000.
The money was allegedly an inducement to assist Nexuscorpgroup in obtaining the PDRM tender.
He allegedly committed the offences at two locations in Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam in December 2020.
The charges are under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
The trial before Judge Rosli Ahmad continues.
