Foreign visa system trial: Ultra Kirana director says lobbied Zahid, ex-PM Najib for support to fend off would-be competitors
SHAH ALAM, May 11 — A company director lobbied for approval and continued support from the Barisan Nasional administration by writing to both Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Najib Razak in a bid prevent would-be competitors from managing the government’s Foreign Visa System from 2013 onwards, the High Court heard today.
“At the time, I had written several letters to the prime minister, Najib Razak, to seek government support as there were competitions from several other companies interested in handling the OSC in China and other countries. In his testimony, Fadzil affirmed he had sent a total of three letters, which he signed, to Najib between May 2013 and October 2015.
On the same date, Fadzil also wrote another letter to Ahmad Zahid on its application to seek a six-year contract extension on the VLN and eVISA system from October 2019 to the end-2025.
