Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas) has confirmed that the MACC has remanded several of its employees to assist in an ongoing investigation related to construction contracts.

The highway concessionaire said it would fully cooperate with the relevant authorities in the MACC investigation.

“We are committed and ready to work closely with all relevant authorities to ensure full cooperation in assisting the investigation.

“Prolintas remains committed to maintaining integrity and corporate governance at the highest level,” it said in a statement.

Yesterday, the media reported MACC confirmed that eight individuals, including three senior management personnel of a highway concessionaire, were remanded after being suspected of soliciting and accepting bribes related to the construction of two highway projects in the Klang Valley.

In a related matter, trading in Prolintas Infra Business Trust securities resumed at 10am after it was halted at 9am.

By 9.40am, Prolintas’ shares held steady at 91 sen per unit.

Business as usual

In a separate statement, Prolintas Managers Sdn Bhd (PMSB), the trustee-manager for Prolintas Infra Business Trust (PIBT), said several members of the board of directors who were remanded by the MACC have been granted leave of absence with immediate effect.

Business is as usual for PIBT with an interim executive management team led by Ikmal Hijaz Hashim, the non-independent non-executive chairman of PMSB who has vast experience in the highway industry.

PMSB’s board is of the view that the recent developments will cause no financial or operational impact on PIBT operations.

“The combined expertise of the executive management team will ensure that the trust continues to operate smoothly.

“The board will make further announcements as and when there are any developments,” read the statement.
