The former manager of Aidil Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd told the Sessions Court here today that it was improper for a refund of RM430,279.95, for the cancellation of Datuk Seri Azlan Man’s family vacation, to be made directly to the former Perlis Menteri Besar.
The seventh prosecution witness, Mohammad Azri Ahmad, 49, acknowledged that it was odd that the refund was returned to Azlan, because the Perlis state government had paid for the vacation packages to London, United Kingdom, in 2016 and 2017.
London vacations refund to Azlan Man was improper, says witness
Earlier, while reading his witness statement, Mohamad Azri explained that Azlan had canceled his vacation bookings to London in 2016 and 2017, amounting to RM253,195.40 and RM244,079.28 respectively, both of which had been paid for by the state government.
He is charged under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher upon conviction. The trial before Judge Azura Alwi will resume on Nov 11.
