KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 — Datuk Peter Anthony has deceived four individuals, including Datuk Seri Najib Razak, to get a contract for the operation and maintenance of the mechanical and electrical system at Universiti Malaysia Sabah , worth almost RM25 million, to be awarded to his company, Asli Jati Engineering Sdn Bhd.
“There is enough evidence that the accused had deceived the three by obscuring their minds on the smart partnership between UMS’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Ulink Property Sdn Bhd and Peter’s company, Asli Jati,” she said. On the charge of falsifying the document, she said although there was no direct evidence to show that the accused had committed forgery, by inserting a false statement in the title of the letter of support to the Finance Ministry, there was evidence that only the accused had the opportunity to falsify the letter.
“The accused’s denial that he went to the office of Najib's former principal private secretary, the late Datuk Azlin Alias, on June 13, 2014, and handed over a letter of support to Azlin, did not raise reasonable doubts as the evidence of third and eighth prosecution witnesses confirmed the act,” she said.
The court allowed a stay of execution of the jail sentence pending the appeal in the High Court against today's decision but ordered the RM50,000 fine to be paid today.
