After Shamsul Iskandar, another PMX polsec’s turn to be engulfed in support letter power abuse





After Shamsul Iskandar, another PMX polsec’s turn to be engulfed in support letter power abuse




DETRACTORS have seemingly unearthed evidence of yet another of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s aide who abused his position to lobby top civil servants to accord preference to certain companies which bid for government projects.


Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim who is the political secretary (polsec) of the Finance Minister (who also happens to be PMX) is alleged to have issued a support letter bearing the letter head of “Office of the Finance Minister’s Political Secretary” to the Department of Irrigation and Drainage’s (JPS) director-general with a list of five pre-qualified private companies “applying” for the Batu Pahat flood mitigation project.

Mocking the fact that the deemed support letter was “stamped URGENT”, opposition-slant Madani critic Datuk Eric See-To claimed that the action itself would mean that the said project “is no longer an open tender” by virtue of the five companies are already considered pre-qualified entities.


Anwar Ibrahim’s former Political Secretary (2018–2022) suddenly reinvented himself as a “young corporate icon” after Anwar became PMX — becoming chairman of five listed companies within just 24 months, holding major stakes or involvement in three more, and being accused via Show more

This itself contradicted PMX’s stance (expressed soon after he assumed the premiership on Nov 29, 2022) that his Madani administration will no longer approve procurement without a tender (ie direct negotiation) to plug leakages and corrupt practices.

The former Barisan Nasional (BN) strategic communication deputy director went on to illustrate step-by-step as to how the support letter dated Nov 15, 2023 was escalated to the JPS’ director-general Datuk Ahmad Anuar Othman.


What happened next? The moment the letter arrived, a JPS officer scribbled:” For KP’s attention. Please request feedback.”

The JPS director-general himself stamped, signed and issued directive on Nov 22, 2023. Random letters don’t get this VIP treatment.

The officers then passed the letter around internally, marking “for action”, “for review”, (and) adding dates like it’s a Shopee parcel, not a federal project.

The clearest note: “Cik Fatin, please minute this.” This means it (the deemed tender) has already entered the processing pipeline.

The internal tracking boxes of the JPS Contract & Quantity Survey division were fully ticked. If it wasn’t meant to be processed, it would never reach this level.

In essence, See-To who is a renowned blogger with the moniker Lim Sian See concluded that Kamil who is also the PKR Youth chief “has thus sent a list of preferred companies directly to JPS for a major project – and JPS processed it as if it were a top-down instruction”.

The loyalist of disgraced former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak went on to claim that public records show that “the project exists, the tender exists … but no award announcement anywhere”.

KELUAR LAGI SATU SURAT.

Belum selesai kisah surat kemarin, datang lagi satu surat. Saya amat berharap surat ini janaan Ai.


“Now we wait for PMX – who is also the Finance Minister – to say (again) that he has “sternly reprimanded” his officers, and that there is no need to sack anyone because ‘the letter is vague,” snubbed See-to.

“From Anwar to PMX to Finance Minister, one pattern is clear: all his political secretaries are extremely powerful.”

Earlier, See-To has chided PMX given his former political secretary Datuk Seri Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak who served from 2018–2022 has “suddenly re-invented himself as a “young corporate icon” after Anwar became PMX.

“He becomes chairman of five listed companies within just 24 months, holding major stakes or involvement in three more, and being accused via leaked documents of obtaining a 70,000-hectare mineral licence in Sabah,” teased the influencer.

“His later senior political secretary (2022-2025) (Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin) was forced to resign last week and has now been remanded after leaked videos and documents linked him to bribery and illicit payments.

“And today, another leak dropped – this time involving the political secretary (since 2022) to the Finance Minister who also happens to be Anwar himself.”

At the time of writing, there has been no denial by Kamil on the allegation levelled at him nor reaction from PMX. – Dec 30, 2025
