‘RM2.2b project reward for retaking Perak’
Raja Petra claims that an expressway project has been awarded to a company of which former chief justice Zaki Azmi’s wife and current Umno legal adviser Mohd Hafarizam Harun, are directors.
(Free Malaysia Today) – Raja Petra Kamarudin has claimed that the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (KIDEX) project has been awarded to a company of which former chief justice Zaki Azmi’s wife and current Umno legal adviser Mohd Hafarizam Harun, are directors.
The Malaysia Today editor alleged that the contract was a reward with regard to helping Umno reclaim Perak from the opposition via a political coup in 2009.
He said the concession was initially supposed to go to PLUS, for the project aimed at diverting traffic from the LDP was the company’s brainchild.
“However, it was hijacked and given to all those lawyers and judges who helped Umno get back Perak,” he added in a posting on his news portal.
According to Raja Petra, the companies that had been awarded the concession for the RM2.2 billion project was Emrail Sdn Bhd and Zabima Engineering and Construction Sdn Bhd.
“The letter has been issued but this would only be announced after the next general election for obvious reasons,” he said.
Raja Petra said that Hafarizam, who represented Umno against Pakatan Rakyat in the Perak constitutional crisis, was the common director and shareholder for both companies.
