Sabah water officials paid nearly RM1mil a year for contracts, court told

Witness Suhaimi Asbullah testified that the contractors bribed Sabah water department officials to secure projects.

Engineer Suhaimi Asbullah, who was based in Beaufort, said the contractors paid the bribes as part of a so-called “contribution scheme”.According to The Borneo Post, Suhaimi mentioned that the Beaufort division received up to 40% more allocations after the introduction of the “contribution scheme”. “They would continue to receive projects without going through an open tender,” he told the corruption trial of the Sabah water department, presided over by judge Abu Bakar Manat.

“Normally, it would be delivered to Teo’s house. I know the place, but I’m not sure about the address,” he said, adding that the money was delivered in a courier bag.
