Nurzaiti Wahid, 41, manager of RHB Bank’s Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah branch in Shah Alam, told the court the bank statement of Nexuscorp Two Sdn Bhd’s account from Dec 1 to 31, 2020, showed a withdrawal of RM250,000 on Dec 16.

“I confirm that this is the original RHB Islamic Bank cheque belonging to Nexuscorp Two for RM250,000 dated Dec 16, 2020.

“The cheque was issued by the account holder of Nexuscorp Two, which the RHB Bank at the Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah branch in Shah Alam received on the same day,” Bernama reported her as saying.

Nurzaiti, the first prosecution witness, was testifying at the trial of Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Al Sayed Mohamad, 42, who faces three corruption charges involving a total of RM350,000.

Sayed Amir was charged on May 23 with two counts of receiving RM350,000 in bribes from NexusCorp Group Sdn Bhd’s managing director, Wan Azhar Yusof.

The cash was said to be an inducement for the accused to help the company secure the tender to maintain and supply the spare parts for the infrastructure, server, software, and RMPNET radio system for the police, worth RM381,112,042.44.

The offences were allegedly committed at the office of Yayasan Tanah Aku, Solaris Dutamas at 4pm on Dec 4 and 3.30pm on Dec 16, 2020.

Sayed Amir was charged with soliciting a cash bribe of RM350,000 from the same individual for the same purpose at the Nexuscorp Group office in Section 7 Industrial Area, Shah Alam, Selangor, at 4pm, early December 2020.

The charges are framed under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 and punishable under Section 24(1) of the same law, which provides for up to 20 years’ imprisonment and a fine of not less than five times the amount or value of the bribe, or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Hazel Tan led the prosecution, while lawyers Yunos Shariff and Asmadi Hussin represented the accused.

The trial before judge Rosli Ahmad continues tomorrow.
