KUALA LUMPUR - Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, both exerted pressure over the education ministry in 2016 to award a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project to a politically-connected company, a former minister told the High Court on Monday .
Mr Mahdzir had testified last week that Rosmah had in June 2016 asked him to speed up the contract award. On Monday he said Rosmah had called him on December 22, 2016, to talk again about the solar hybrid project. Mr Mahdzir had also testified last week that Najib had issued three handwritten notes since June 2016 to instruct him to give the contract to Jepak Holdings. He said Najib had ignored his advice in November that year to wait for Jepak to comply with certain requirements before issuing a letter of acceptance and awarding the project.
