The former CEO of the Malaysian Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), Datuk Mohamad Madani Sahari, has been handed a one-year jail sentence and a RM100,000 fine for a RM6.4 million training contract fraud. In a separate charge where he received RM5 million in cash, he was given a one-year prison term and his assets worth RM3.4 million were ordered to be confiscated. Both sentences will run concurrently.
According to Bernama, Sessions Court judge Rozina Ayob sentenced Madani, 57, to one year in prison and fined him RM100,000 after he pleaded guilty to a charge of deceiving MARii’s board of directors into believing that LPS Learning Platform’s contract price was RM6.4 million. It was actually RM2.3 million. The board awarded the RM6.4 million contract to the training provider.
The offences were committed at a hotel at KL Sentral in December 2019. Madani was charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code, which carries between one and 10 years of imprisonment, with a fine and caning, upon conviction. Judge Rozina also ordered him to serve an additional three-month prison term if he failed to settle the fine.
Separately, another Sessions Court judge Suzana Hussin sentenced Madani to one year in prison and ordered the confiscation of his assets worth RM3.4 million after he pleaded guilty to a charge of receiving RM5 million in cash from a 49-year-old man.
The offence was committed at a bank in Section 15, Shah Alam, in July 2021. For this case, Madani was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum imprisonment of two years, a fine, or both.

Anwar menang, rasuah hapus
Madani got jailed by Madani bcoz this Madani was from the previous Govt LOL
does he get to keep the millions he received ? if paying a fine of 100k and 1 year jail time is all it takes, many people will sacrifice that in exchange for the money . beats living a life of poverty on minimum wage . (6.4-2.3=4.1)+5 = 9.1
9.1-3.4= 5.7? I am sure I misread the article somehow
Rm3.4 mil assets confisticated, see article
simple arithmatics, rm5mil – rm3.4mil=???
before wondering what came out of the rm6mil contract?
Can somebody do the math here, fine Rm100k after profit of 3.9 million ( 6.2m – 2.3m ) seize aset worth 3.4 million after received cash of 5 million…… balance of 1.4m, Total songlap bersih lepas tolak fine and seizure of aset : 1.4+3.9 = Rm5.3million net. Tolak lawyer fees 1 million also still got untung bersih 4.3 million…so is there other fine not reported? Macam tak betul aje…..or did inget the figure wrong.
No wonder lah our auto industry going to sh*t…. We are supposed to have leaders stearing and promoting the whole supply chain but instead got lanun for their own pocket…. This is what I call TREASON….
The judge should gave the max 10years….
You need to brush up on your ang moh…steering, dude!
Then go to the pardons board ask for jail time discount?
Nope. Straight get full pardon like Abang Non
Like how Madani is giving 50% diskaun on samans?
The judge went the opposite direction by giving the least verdict

fine rm100k , 1 year free board & lodging, rm3.4mil assets confiscated for rm5mil cash pocketed and juicy rm6mil contract?
Looks like an invitation for anyone t
take a chance?
simple arithmatics, rm5mil – rm3.4mil=???
before wondering what came out of the rm6mil contract?
Shouldn’t he be fined whatever he took? Make it equal
RM6.4m contract approve but true contract value is RM2.3m. so he pocketed RM4.1m.
Then he receive bribe of RM5m but RM3.4m asset confiscated. So he still have RM1.6m.
he get fined RM100k and stay in jail for 1 year.
So from the contract fraud and bribery, he still earn (RM4.1m + RM1.6m) – RM100k = RM5.6m.
If we divide his 1 year jail term to 365 days against his earnings, RM5.6m/365 days = RM15,342.46.
That’s a good deal!!
