Ex-education minister doubted company which got solar hybrid project


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid did not agree to Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd's proposal to handle the solar hybrid project in Sarawak, as he did not believe the company had the expertise needed for the work, the High Court heard on Thursday (Feb 6).

The former education minister, who is the fifth prosecution witness for Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's solicitation of bribery and graft trial, said that Saidi Abang Samsudin had approached him about the matter in 2015.
