KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 — A director for the firm Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd today claimed trial at the Session Court to the charge of giving bribes to former minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa in return for favours to handle concessions for the Kuala Lumpur Tower.
Abdul Hamid is charged under Section 16 and 24 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and is said to have tried to offer bribes to Annuar through one Datuk Tan Ser Lay sometime between July and August last year at the ministry's headquarters. The charges were read in front of Judge Suzana Husin who then set bail at RM50,000 and asked Abdul Hamid to report himself to the MACC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur once every two months beginning in May this year until the trial is over.Previously the MACC said two individuals, aged 49 and 59, including a managing director who acted as a middleman to handle kickbacks in the deal, were arrested at the MACC headquarters after giving their statements.
Prior to this, the MACC was reported to have investigated allegations over the suspicious sale of shares and the take-over of the KL Tower operations and maintenance concession from Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd, a company wholly owned by Telekom Malaysia Bhd.
