FEHM Entity Allegedly Favoured Through Direct Negotiation in Defence Projects

FEHM Entity Sdn Bhd was allegedly favoured in defence projects through direct negotiation, with several high-ranking officials facing charges related to soliciting and accepting gratification in connection with these awards. These allegations centre on inducements offered to influence the appointment of FEHM Entity for maintenance services and as a strategic partner.
Officials Charged with Soliciting and Accepting Bribes

Lieutenant Colonel Che Ahmad Idris, Brigadier-General Mohammed Feizol Anuar Ayob, and Lieutenant General (Rtd) Datuk Sheikh Moksin Sheikh Hassan have all pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of corruption. Che Ahmad Idris allegedly solicited and accepted RM105,000 from FEHM Entity's managing director, Elias Jemadi Tajudin, as an inducement for appointing the company for maintenance services. Mohammed Feizol Anuar Ayob is accused of accepting a total of RM128,000 from Elias Jemadi, facilitated by FEHM Entity executive director Hishamuddin Johari and project manager Nurin Nazwa Elias Jemadi, to assist in submitting a letter of intent for the company to become a strategic partner and contractor for intelligence equipment maintenance.
Former Director-General Accused of Approving Direct Negotiation

Lieutenant General (Rtd) Datuk Sheikh Moksin Sheikh Hassan, in his capacity as the former director-general of the Defence Intelligence Division, allegedly solicited and agreed to accept RM1 million in gratification, and subsequently accepted RM266,000 from Elias Jemadi. This acceptance was allegedly an inducement for Sheikh Moksin to approve a proposal that would appoint FEHM Entity through direct negotiation for maintenance services. He also faces a separate charge involving RM50,000 from Syed Omar Syed Mohamad, related to the appointment of Malvus Sense Sdn Bhd for procurement and training.
Alleged Corrupt Practices Span Multiple Locations and Timeframes

The alleged offences occurred across various locations in Kuala Lumpur, including residential complexes, office buildings, and hotel premises, between September 2019 and June 2020. These incidents involved interactions at Kompleks Perumahan Tun Osman Jewa, Kementah; the parking area of Masjid Khalid Al-Walid, Kementah; Dorsett Residences Sri Hartamas; FEHM Entity offices in Wangsa Maju; Persiaran Bukit Melawati, Bukit Melawati; Havana Club, Hotel Concorde; the Defence Intelligence Division Office at the Defence Ministry; and HairDoc Medical Publica, Solaris Dutamas.
Charges Framed Under MACC Act with Significant Penalties

The charges against the officials were framed under Section 16(a)(B) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act. Conviction under this section carries a penalty of imprisonment for up to 20 years and a fine of no less than five times the amount of gratification, or RM10,000, whichever is higher. The court granted bail to the accused, with Che Ahmad Idris receiving bail of RM80,000, Mohammed Feizol Anuar at RM60,000, and Sheikh Moksin at RM110,000, with each required to surrender their passports and report to the nearest MACC office monthly.
