CIMB Bank Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman branch manager Rahimi Ramli, 48, said the amount was transferred in seven transactions between Jan 31 and Dec 31, 2022.
“Based on MIE Infrastructure & Energy’s statements, I confirm that there were four transactions of RM500,000, RM300,000, RM200,000 and RM100,000, made in the name of Bayu Bumiraya.
“I also confirm that there were three money transfers to other accounts, each totalling RM500,000.
“The remarks noted for these transactions were ‘Adam Radlan Bin Adam Project Fees’, ‘Bayu Bumiraya Sdn Project Fees’, and ‘PV 9060,” he said, reading from his witness statement before judge Suzana Hussin.
Rahimi is the third prosecution witness in the trial of Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad, who is facing 12 charges of corruption and money laundering related to Jana Wibawa projects.
Previously, the first prosecution witness, Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) assistant registrar R Harshini, 34, confirmed that Adam Radlan was the director and shareholder of Bayu Bumiraya from the date of his appointment on Oct 9, 2013, until Jan 25, 2023.
Ng Choo Li, 50, a bank officer from the Public Bank Setia Alam branch, also confirmed that two transfers, each amounting to RM100,000, were made from Nepturis Sdn Bhd’s bank account to the Bayu Bumiraya account on April 5, 2022.
Adam Radlan, 43, is facing a charge of soliciting a cash bribe of between 3.5% and 7% of a RM47.8 million road construction project from MIE Infrastructure & Energy managing director Mat Jusoh Mamat.
He is also charged with accepting a RM500,000 bribe from the same individual as inducement to help the company secure the same project from the government through direct negotiations.
Adam Radlan also faces three charges of receiving bribes totalling RM4.1 million from Lian Tian Chuan and Mat Jusoh as payment for helping Nepturis and MIE Infrastructure & Energy secure two Jana Wibawa projects.
Additionally, he is accused of soliciting a bribe of RM2 million from Lian in exchange for assisting Nepturis in obtaining the same projects.
All the charges were framed under Section 16(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, and are punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of not less than five times the amount of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.
He also faces seven money laundering charges amounting to more than RM3 million under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
The offences were allegedly committed in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya between March 2021 and January 2023.
The trial will resume on Jan 15 next year. - FMT
