Question

Accepted Answer

Mamfor Sdn Bhd Secured RM19.5 Million Through Borrowings for Political Donations

Mamfor Sdn Bhd, a construction company, obtained RM19.5 million for donations to the political party Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia by borrowing the funds. The company's managing director, Shahradzi Shamsuddin, arranged these borrowings from entities connected to his family. These loans were subsequently channelled as donations to Bersatu, with specific amounts disbursed both before and after a government project was awarded.
Loans Sourced from Family-Affiliated Companies

To facilitate the RM19.5 million donation, Shahradzi Shamsuddin secured funds through loans. Specifically, Mamfor borrowed RM7 million from Majulia Sdn Bhd, a company belonging to Shahradzi's mother, Rahmah Kassim. Additionally, a sum of RM13.772 million was borrowed from Sutracom Sdn Bhd, a company owned by Shahradzi's younger brother, Shahrin.
Donations Disbursed in Stages

The total RM19.5 million borrowed by Mamfor was subsequently donated to Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia. These donations were made in two distinct tranches: RM10.5 million was given prior to the awarding of a project, and a further RM9 million was contributed after the project was officially awarded in October 2022.
Context of Project Award and Political Contribution

The donations to Bersatu were made in connection with a RM605.2 million government project under the Jana Wibawa programme. Shahradzi testified that a businessman with a "Datuk" title had requested the donation to Bersatu, suggesting it would assist his younger brother's company, Sutracom Sdn Bhd, in securing the project. Shahradzi estimated the donation to be between three and four percent of the contract's value, a figure he based on industry practices.
