Mahdzir said Saidi had told him in July 2017 that the company had been unable to obtain interim claims for electricity supply services to Sarawak schools through diesel generators since January 2017. “Then, Saidi demanded me to help and told me he would complain to Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Datin Seri Rosmah and Datuk Rizal Mansor,” Mahdzir said, referring to Najib’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and her then aide Rizal.

“I told Datuk Seri Najib Razak that this letter is related to Jepak and there are problems for the payment process. I also asked Datuk Seri Najib Razak to give special exemption on financial procedures to enable payment to be made to Jepak,” he said, noting that Najib had the power to do so as the finance minister.

Mahdzir noted that Alias had also verbally told him that the Finance Ministry had noted that the Education Ministry did not comply with financial procedures in appointing Jepak Holdings for the project.
