Following the concerns of ministry officials, Alias stated that a meeting was called for March 14, 2018 to discuss the matter. Akberdin then suggested that Alias was in cahoots with then education minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid to not penalise Jepak Holdings, including lodging a police report against allegations of misconduct by the firm as they had a vested interest in the project.Akberdin also needled Alias on his personal relationship with Jepak Holding’s director Saidi Abang Samsudin, asking whether Alias had invited Saidi to his daughter’s wedding.

During cross-examination, deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib quizzed Alias on why he and other MOE officials had not lodged a police report on Jepak Holdings’ alleged misconduct.Well, at the time, my officer had informed me that the MACC had already known of the matter and had entered the MOE to take the necessary documents.No, because the MACC is also an investigative body.
