AN RM4 billion contract to upgrade the Klang valley’s double-track railway line is the most expensive project that was awarded via direct negotiation by the Pakatan Harapan administration.
The Transport Ministry awarded the RM4.475 billion project to Dhaya Maju LTAT Sdn Bhd.
Dhaya Maju LTAT is an 80:20 joint venture company between Dhaya Maju Infrastructure (Asia) Sdn Bhd and the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT).
This was among the 101 directly negotiated projects valued at RM6.61 billion that Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz first mentioned in Parliament on Monday.
Today, he released the full list companies that won the these contracts, and the ministries that awarded them.
The list comes following a spat between Perikatan Nasional and PH lawmakers over how projects involving taxpayers’ funds were given out by the different administrations.
Perikatan is using the 101 deals to challenge Pakatan’s oft-repeated claim that it is the cleaner administration because it implements an open tender system for government projects.
Other contracts with multi-million price tags include:
- RM270 million to Datasonic Technologies Sdn Bhd to supply polycarbonate biodata pages for the Immigration Department under the Home Ministry.
- RM254.40 million to MyTv Broadcasting Sdn Bhd by the Multimedia and Communications Ministry for rental of multiplexer, infrastructure and network facilities for digital television broadcasts for three years.
- RM222.87 million “in-service” support contract for A400M Airbus airplanes from the Defence Ministry to Airbus Military Sociedad Limitada, Spain.
- RM204 million for maintenance, overhaul and repair of the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s fleet of Hercules C130 transport planes to AIROD Sdn Bhd by the Defence Ministry.
- RM203.20 million for maintenance, overhaul and repair of the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s fleet of Sikorsky 61A-4 (Nuri) helicopters to AIROD sdn bhd by the Defence Ministry.
- RM170.30 million contract to build, operate and maintain a solid waste disposal station in Taman Beringin, Jinjang Utara, Kuala Lumpur awarded to Bumi Segar Indah Sdn Bhd by the Housing and Local Government Ministry.
- RM150.87 million to provide the 1PDRM Net for police by Telekom Malaysia Bhd from the Home Ministry.
All the projects came under 20 ministries in the Pakatan administration which had been deposed in a bloodless coup by politicians from the current Perikatan government.The Transport Ministry’s double track rail line project was among four which pushed the ministry’s total direct award total to RM4.477 billion.
The second biggest spender was the Defence Ministry at RM900.86 million for six contracts followed by the Home Ministry at RM517.68 million.
The Multimedia and Communications Ministry gave out 12 contracts without open tender worth RM380.12 million while the Housing and Local Government ministry gave out two contracts worth RM170.79 million.
The Water, Land and Natural Resources Ministry gave out the highest number of direct award contracts at 13, but were valued at just RM5.67 million.– August 26, 2020.

I'm waiting for when Zafrul will discover that the RM 300 million worth of helicopters ordered and paid for on Hishamuddin's instructions are missing and have never been seen.
Zafrul, any squeak from you?
Azam Baki of the MACC, any investigation from the MACC, or has a cat got your tongue?
