On 19 October 2018 YB Dato’ Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (Zahid), president of UMNO, was slapped with 45 charges off money laundering involving RM72 mil and criminal breach of trust and accepting bribes involving RM42 mil, HERE.
Out of the 45 charges, 3 of which is connected with a visa processing company or One Stop Centre (OSC) known as Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd (Profound Radiance). The charge sheet for the said 3 charges will be posted below.
Background
As early as in 2015 Nepal government was unhappy with the increased of visa processing fees more than five fold. The Nepal governnment had protested about the excessive processing being charged for visa applications. A local company was appointed to work on behalf of Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB). For the full report by Asia News, HERE.
MACC has already started to investigate into the visa processing fees by UKSB from 2012 until 2018, HERE. Of course, Tuan Mohd Fardhi bin Ahmad, Pengarah Bahagian Visa (a.k.a. as “The Hebat One“, had denied that MACC was investigating into the activities of UKSB. That detail was made before Zahid was charged for corruption and three of the charges were connected with one of the visa processing companies called Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd.
The estimated daily income of UKSB is RM500,000.00. Its’ overhead is very negligible if compared two its daily income. All UKSB needs to do is to employ less than 10 staffs to key in the applicants particulars and send them back to Bukit Aman for clearance. By 3 pm on the same day the same staffs will go to our Embassy to get the stickers for those that have been approved. Thereafter, they will stick the stickers on the the passports.
UKSB is the ‘big boy’ in the visa processing business. Profound Radiance and S5 Systems Sdn Bhd are the new kids in the block.
Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd
Azlan Shah bin Jaffril holds 750,000 shares in Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd (Profound Radiance). He has been named in the three charges for giving the three Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd cheque to the accused, Zahid.
Yours truly is curious about the identity of this Mazrina binti Mustafa, who holds the other 250,000 shares. Rumour has it she is politically connected. Can anyone help with more info on her?
Out of the 45 charges 3 of them, namely the 16th, 17th and 18th charge are connected to Profound Radiance, which one of the companies involved with visa processing business and One Stop Centre (OSC). In all the three charges, Azlan Shah Jeffril was name as the person who gave the bribe to Zahid.
The other two companies involved in the visa processing business and/or One Stop Centre (OSC) are Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) and S5 Systems Sdn Bhd.
The key players in UKSB are Wan Quoris Shah bin Wan Abdul Ghani a.k.a. Wan Badak and Harry Lee Vui Khiun, who is from Tawau, Sabah. Wan Badak used to exhibit his fleet of cars like Porsche, Ferrari and etc in his Facebook. After May 9, 2018 (GE 14th) when BN government was toppled, he deleted his Facebook. It is an open secret that he is a lieutenant of the ex-Minister of Youth & Sport, YB Khairy Jamaluddin.
For the background of UKSB, please read HERE.
S5 Systems Sdn Bhd
Just to digress a little. The key player in S5 Systems Sdn Bhd is none other than Tan Sri Al Amin, who is closed to the ex-PM, Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Tan Sri Al Amin is a business partner of Dato’ Seri Siew Ka Wei (who is equally closed to the ex-PM) in Ancom Bhd (Ancom). Ancom’s subsidiaries includes Redberry Media Group, Malay Mail, Titanium Compass Sdn Bhd (10 years exclusive contract for advertising space for MRT and stations), Puncak Berlian Sdn Bhd, Meru Utama Sdn Bhd (exclusive advertising space contract in KLIA for 7 years plus 3 years from May 2014), Ancom Kimia Sdn Bhd and others.
Ancom Kimia Sdn Bhd had been awarded with 5 years exclusive supply contract of Methanol by Petronas Chemicals Group Sdn Bhd. Yours truly believes that the 5 years monopoly is expiring in December 2018. It is trying to renew the exclusive contract for another 5 years but six companies (users) are protesting against the monopoly.
Both of these corporate figures are extremely powerful and effective up to May 9, 2018!
