“I started to give the cash to Mohd Tahir since 2004 until 2015 and the total he received about RM15 million to RM16.2 million.' - Wong Kok Vui Michael, 69, the prosecution’s 35th witness.
Wong Kok Vui @ Michael, 69, the prosecution’s 35th witness, reading out his witness statement during examination-in-chief before Judge Abu Bakar Manat, said he gave RM450,000 cash to Mohd Tahir thrice yearly.“I started to give the cash to Mohd Tahir since 2004 until 2015 and the total he received about RM15 million to RM16.2 million. This was only my estimation as the actual amount I did not remember.
“When we have drink together, we never talk about the money or percentage or payment of commission. We always chat for about 20 minutes only,” said Wong. He said the commission he gave to Mohd Tahir was “a return thanks as he made it easier for me to get contract works from JANS as he was the director who had the power to approve allocations for all divisions and districts in Sabah”. “If I don’t give, most likely I would not get the contracts in the water department,” said Wong.
