It was reported earlier this week that SPNB Aspirasi had filed a RM141 million lawsuit accusing Azizi, property developer Tunas Tunas Manja Development & Construction Sdn Bhd and 10 others, of conspiring to defraud the company over an affordable housing project in Kuantan, Pahang, using a similar modus operandi.
SPNB Aspirasi claimed to have been defrauded to ink a development agreement valued at RM108 million in 2015 with a Tunas Manja Development & Construction (KL) Sdn Bhd, which was falsely portrayed to be a subsidiary of TMDC through fake documents which Ahri and Azizi approved.
The initiative saw six teams presenting their innovative ideas for the revitalisation of two zones surrounding Merdeka 118 to be more resilient.
