In the ongoing corruption and money laundering trial of former Bersatu Information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, a crucial piece of evidence came to light on Thursday, January 16th. The Sessions Court heard testimony from Ong Jen Ne, 54, a customer service and operations manager at Hong Leong Bank Taiping Branch. Ong confirmed a bank transfer of RM46,487.85 into the account of Good Square Sdn Bhd on November 8, 2022.
This information was revealed while examining Good Square Sdn Bhd’s Hong Leong bank account statement for the period of November 1 to 30, 2022. Ong stated, 'According to this document, I confirm that there was a money transfer into this account from a different bank on Nov 8, 2022, with the transaction details listed as 'Cr Adv-Interbank (GIRO)' at KLM INV01364000004-BMGS WAN SAIFUL & ASSOCIATES SDN BHD, amounting to RM46,487.85.' This testimony came during the examination-in-chief led by deputy public prosecutor Nor Diana Nor Azwa. Wan Saiful faces 18 charges of money laundering and two corruption charges related to the Jana Wibawa project.Further details emerged during the cross-examination by Wan Saiful’s lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad. Ong confirmed that the bank account was opened on May 16, 2014, at Hong Leong Bank Berhad, Taiping Branch, and required only one of two signatories. Responding to a question regarding any instructions from authorities to freeze the account, Ong stated that there were none. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers focused on the transaction dated November 8, 2022, for investigative purposes, as per the witness's explanation. Wan Saiful is accused of transferring RM46,487.85, allegedly derived from illegal activities, into the Hong Leong Bank account of Good Square Sdn Bhd. The two corruption charges involve soliciting bribes to assist Nepturis Sdn Bhd in securing a road project and obtaining the Security, Safety, and Technical (SST) requirements for the project. The first corruption charge involves soliciting a bribe from Lian Tan Chuan as an inducement to assist Nepturis Sdn Bhd in securing the Central Spine Road: Sertik to Lebuhraya Pantai Timur project from the Malaysian government. This pre-qualification contract was valued at RM232 million.The second charge alleges that Wan Saiful received RM6,962,694.54 into his company’s WSA Advisory Group Sdn Bhd account at CIMB Bank from Nepturis Sdn Bhd’s Maybank Islamic account. This payment was allegedly for helping the company secure the SST for the project. Both offences are alleged to have occurred at the Royal Lake Club, Taman Tasik Perdana in April 2022, and at CIMB Bank Berhad Bukit Tunku Branch between July 8 and September 30, 2022. In addition, Wan Saiful faces 18 charges of money laundering involving RM5.59 million. This includes transferring and utilizing illegal proceeds, including for the payment of a Ford Ranger vehicle at CIMB Bank Berhad Bukit Tunku Branch, between August 12 and November 13, 2022
