PUTRAJAYA: Investigations into the alleged abuse of Selangor state funds continued yesterday with two contractors being questioned about allegations of non-existent projects.
The contractors, accompanied by their respective lawyers, turned up at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters yesterday where they were questioned on at least three such projects in Sungai Pelek, Sri Kembangan and Kuala Kubu Baru.
One of them, who allegedly prepared invoices and statements pertaining to the projects, was asked to verify some of the documents obtained by MACC officers during the course of their investigation into the case.
A senior MACC officer confirmed that the two had their statements recorded to facilitate ongoing investigations into alleged abuse of Selangor government funds.
The inquest into political aide Teoh Beng Hock's death was told recently that four companies had lent their letterheads to certain individuals for non-existent projects which obtained approval from Teoh and his boss, Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah.
This information was retrieved from invoices obtained and printed from Teoh's laptop when he was being questioned at the MACC office on July 15 and 16.
MACC investigating officer Mohd Anuar Ismail had told the inquest that the documents showed that four companies had received commissions after lending their letterheads to certain individuals.
Anuar, who was a witness in the inquest, had named the four companies as Syarikat Fizami Construction, Aris Enterprise, MKMN Enterprise and M A Bina Melor Enterprise, in his testimony.
Based on MACC's investigations, Syarikat Fizami Construction obtained 26 projects worth RM147,812, Aris Enterprise obtained 14 projects worth RM88,275.30, MKMN Enterprise had six projects worth RM50,765 and M A Bina Melor Enterprise got seven projects worth RM69,010. - NST
