In a recent court session, a businessman testified that his company, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, donated RM19.5 million to the political party Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) in 2021 and 2022. The donations were made in two installments: RM10.5 million before his company was awarded a RM605.2 million government project under the Jana Wibawa programme, and RM9 million after the award. The businessman stated that a man with the title "Datuk" had requested the donations, suggesting that his assistance would help secure the project for his company. This testimony is part of the ongoing corruption trial of former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who faces charges related to the Jana Wibawa programme. The trial has seen multiple testimonies linking donations to Bersatu with the awarding of government contracts under the programme. The case continues to unfold, with further hearings scheduled to examine the full extent of these allegations.
