Accepted Answer

Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Allegedly Sought a Portion of Consultancy Fees for Political Purposes

A witness testified that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, the political secretary to a former Home Minister, requested a portion of a RM19 million consultancy fee related to a Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) project. The witness, Datuk Seri Mohd Khairi Mat Jahya, stated that these inquiries were aimed at securing funds for political ends. Sayed Amir Muzzakkir allegedly informed Mohd Khairi of a meeting with Nexuscorpgroup Sdn Bhd’s managing director, Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof, emphasizing the need to discuss the amount he would receive should the company secure the PDRM tender.
Inquiries for Political Funding

According to Mohd Khairi's testimony, Sayed Amir Muzzakkir's requests were explicitly for political purposes. He indicated that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir sought a portion of the consultancy fee, suggesting it was for political funding. This request was made in the context of an introduction to Nexuscorpgroup and the then Home Minister, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, highlighting a potential link between the project and political interests.
Discussion of a Specific Sum

The witness recounted that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir stressed the importance of discussing the amount he was to receive if Nexuscorpgroup was awarded the PDRM tender. This tender was for the Maintenance and Supply of Spare Parts for Infrastructure Equipment, Servers, Software and RMPNet System Radio Users. The alleged emphasis on a specific sum suggests a pre-arranged understanding or expectation of personal gain tied to the project's success.
Lack of Project Clarity

Mohd Khairi stated that he did not agree to give Sayed Amir Muzzakkir any of the requested funds because, at the time, there were no project details, documents, or background information readily available. He testified that he could not simply agree based solely on verbal discussions. This lack of transparency and concrete project information appears to have been a factor in his hesitation to commit to sharing the consultancy fee.
