(All POC has been finalised. Hope to issue LOA immediately, as agreed by the Home Ministry,” Abd Aziz said when asked to read out Zahid’s 2015 handwritten note in court today, with the word “segera” underlined. “I’m sure this is the handwriting and initials of the home minister then as I know and had in the past received instructions through minutes from the home minister then,” he had said yesterday.

While the legally-binding LOA for the five-year passport chip supply project stated that the RM318.75 million contract was only due to start from December 1, 2016 until November 30, 2021, Abd Aziz had yesterday said that the LOA was issued earlier on December 15, 2015 “due to the home minister’s request as per the minute on the DTSB letter dated October 13, 2015”.
