The files, unveiled by former CA business development director Britanny Kaiser, includes a document on the email correspondence between several people in Oct 2016, including SCL South-East Asia’s director Azrin Zizal.The correspondence claimed that former Umno secretary general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor assigned an aide, Datuk Seri Aminudin Mustafa, to engage with representatives of the SCL Group representatives on Oct 10,2016, to discuss the proposal.
In GE14, Barisan retained six seats – Arau, Ketereh, Machang, Kuala Kangsar, Cameron Highlands, and Bera. The document release included previously unreleased emails, project plans, case studies, negotiations and more spanning 65 countries. The Barisan Nasional government had in March 2018 claimed that it had never engaged Cambridge Analytica and its parent company SCL Group in any way.
