KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd does not have to pay the more than RM1.65mil in outstanding levies to the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) involving a solar hybrid project for 369 rural schools in Sarawak.
This was after the High Court here allowed on Wednesday (March 9) the company s application to set aside a judgment-in-default (JID) order obtained by CIDB for the company to pay the levies.
The solar hybrid project is the subject matter of the ongoing corruption trial of Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Counsel Afifah Afif, who acted for Jepak, told Bernama that CIDB s lawyer Nor Ahyani Ahmad did not raise any objection to Jepak’s application to set aside the JID when the matter came up for case management through e-Review before Deputy Registrar Maslinda Selamat Wednesday.
The Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is looking at the traffic management aspect in its investigations into the incident at the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) Highway construction project yesterday that left two women dead. CIDB in a statement today said the investigation was being done in accordance with Sections 34B and 34C of Act 520 on the contractor's duty in ensuring the safety of the building and construction work either during or after the construction work is carried out.

Its Director Karunanithy Y. Subbiah said according to sources, the syndicate was believed to have been operating since a year ago.
“Among the documents issued via corruption are certificates like for registration of contractors, vendors and service providers, Construction Certificate of the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and Bumiputera status certificates.
“The applicants only need to pay a bribe of between RM500 and RM1,500 to certain government officials at the relevant agencies to expedite the issuance of the certificates without having to go through proper inspection and process.
