Selangor MB says willing to give complete details of Asia Mobiliti’s appointment
PETALING JAYA: Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari says the state government is open to disclosing the full details of Asia Mobility Technologies Sdn Bhd’s (Asia Mobiliti) appointment for a first- and last-mile public transport service in the state.
Questions arose on the possibility of preferential treatment and conflict of interest following revelations that Asia Mobiliti was one of two companies the state government had given the demand-responsive transit project to without going through an open tender.
The company’s CEO, M Ramachandran, is married to youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.
The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) yesterday called on the Selangor government to disclose the complete details of Asia Mobiliti’s appointment, which Amirudin today said he was agreeable to.
“We are willing to (do that),” he told reporters when asked about C4’s call.

“We have no problem doing so as we have freedom of information.”
Amirudin also said the state government was open to providing the minutes of the meetings involving the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad).
Selangor investment, trade and mobility committee chairman Ng Sze Han previously defended the selection of the two companies, saying they were approved by Apad and federal regulators.
He also said the two companies were only part of a proof of concept (POC) bus-on-demand process which would run for nine months. A POC is a feasibility study to prove that an idea is workable.
Amirudin said Asia Mobiliti and Badanbas Coach Sdn Bhd were selected for the POC, which ends in July, as they were approved by Apad.

“Apad said only two companies had been given permission for the POC, so the state government invited both of them,” said Amirudin.
“Even if we were to conduct an open tender, only two companies at that time had permission to do the POC … so questions about whether there should have been an open tender or not are not valid.”
He added that other e-hailing companies were not invited to carry out the POC as they did not get approval from Apad.
He said that public transport operator Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and another company, Kumpool Sdn Bhd, would be invited to submit their POC proposals after getting the green light from Apad.
