A political and government policy analyst Datuk Saiful Bahar Mohd Arshad said to a Malay portal the Communications and Multimedia Ministry and the Public Private Partnership Unit in the Prime Minister’s Department (UKAS) have abided strictly to the selection of little-known Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd to operate and maintain the KL Tower.
“UKAS has brought the approval paper for the concession to operate and maintain Menara Kuala Lumpur by Hydroshoppe (successful bidder) to (then economic minister) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed and then prime minister (PM) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (for their perusal),” Saiful wrote.

“After careful consideration by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri, Hydroshoppe was selected as the successful bidder for the Menara Kuala Lumpur concession. Tan Sri Annuar Musa, the former minister of communications and multimedia, lacks the authority to approve the concession.”
Saiful also denied that a female director of Hyroshoppe is a close friend of Annuar.
