Rosmah dared instruct me to speed up approval for solar energy project: Ex-education minister

Former Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid appears at the Kuala Lumpur High Court as the fifth prosecution witness in Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s corruption trial. - Bernama: Former Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid told the High Court today that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor instructed him to speed up approval for the project to supply hybrid solar power to 369 rural schools in Sarawak worth RM1.25 billion to Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd.

“When I met Datin Seri Rosmah before leaving, she more-or-less told me to ‘take a look at the Cikgu Aazmey solar project. Speed it up.’ I could only answer ‘yes, yes’ as there were many people at that time. He said Rosmah had never before contacted him about other government projects other than the hybrid solar project and Permata.

“To me, this showed that Datuk Seri Najib entertained Jepak, as if he had no faith in the Education Ministry to process the application for the hybrid solar project,” he said. “This was a letter from the Prime Minister’s Office dated November 8, 2016 which I mentioned. I confirm that the contents of the letter were similar to what I received and took action on. I received both letters at my office.

He added that according to his understanding, Najib had instructed him to immediately issue the LOA for the hybrid solar project to Jepak based on the proposals in the Jepak letter.
