KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 — Former Education Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad admitted to having played golf in Kuala Lumpur with Saidi Abang Samsudin, the director of the company Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd that had obtained a RM1.25 billion project from the ministry. Alias, who was testifying as the 12th prosecution witness in Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s bribery trial, admitted to this while being questioned by Rosmah’s lawyer Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader.
Akberdin had shown Alias a letter dated January 5, 2017 from Jepak Holdings to then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, where the company had urged Najib to grant Alias “absolute power” to carry out tasks and decisions relating to the project.
