MACC: Sapura Energy probe to take time over US$3.3mil foreign links
KUALA LUMPUR: Graftbusters expect the Op Crest probe into Sapura Energy Bhd (SEB) to be lengthy, as it will require mutual legal assistance from other countries.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the process was necessary to investigate a corruption case involving US$3.3 million.
"Sapura Crest, a company under Sapura Energy, had awarded a contract to a subcontractor involving a company in Brazil.
"The money was then paid through an agent in the Netherlands before being channelled to Singapore," he told reporters today.

No significant impact on Philippine economy from Iran-Israel conflict
MANILA: Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr has assured that the ongoing tensions in the Middle East have had 'no significant effect' on the Philippine economy, though the government is closely monitoring for potential price manipulation, Philippines News Agency (PNA) reported. Speaking to reporters in Tarlac on Wednesday, Marcos said the impact of the Iran-Israel conflict remains manageable, based on assessments made during a meeting with his economic team at Malacañang on Tuesday. 'So far, there is no effect. No significant effect on the economy,' he said. Marcos, however, noted that the government is on alert for price gouging, citing instances of unjustified price increases despite stable oil prices. 'We're monitoring price gouging, because I've seen many prices going up even though oil prices haven't increased. That's our focus now,' he added. He acknowledged that while the crisis in the oil-rich region could potentially affect global prices, crude oil had declined to US$69 from US$79 following the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. Asked whether fuel subsidies would be extended to public utility drivers and other sectors despite the drop in prices, Marcos said such assistance would only be considered if prices surge. 'If prices don't increase, then there's no need for subsidies. We're not referring to aid but to targeted subsidies, which will only be triggered if oil prices rise,' he explained. Marcos stressed that for now, it remains 'business as usual' for the country. 'The price of oil hasn't gone up. It rose for a day and then came back down. So we don't need to talk about subsidies yet,' he said.

MACC probes alleged misuse of RM12 mln involving Sapura Energy
PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating the alleged misuse of RM12 million, believed to be linked to two cases involving the oil and gas solutions provider Sapura Energy Bhd. Its Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki said in the first case, statements from 15 witnesses have been recorded, but no arrests have been made so far. He said that the MACC has also frozen assets or properties belonging to a director of Sapura Petroleum and his family, as well as two luxury homes valued at RM5.5 million owned by the company's chief executive officer (CEO). 'In this first case, the investigation is ongoing, and we are determining whether the RM12 million constitutes an offence under Section 23 of the MACC Act,' he said at a press conference held at the MACC headquarters here today. Azam said the incident took place in 2018, during a time when Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) injected funds into Sapura Energy, thereby making it a government-linked company (GLC). 'When we say a GLC, it means the government has a stake in it. Therefore, any misuse of funds will fall under offences stipulated in our act, namely Section 23 of the MACC Act or possibly other offences under the Penal Code,' he said. Azam said the second case involves allegations of bribery by a foreign party to a CEO in 2011 in an attempt to secure a project owned by Sapura Energy. 'This bribery case involves a total of USD 3.3 million (RM14 million). At the time, the company was known as Sapura Crest, under Sapura Energy. A subcontract was awarded to a foreign company in Brazil. The payment was made by an agent and routed through a (foreign) country, via the Netherlands and channelled through Singapore', he said. He said that the MACC has to submit multiple requests for Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) to relevant countries to obtain further information. 'In this second case, I anticipate that the process will take a considerable amount of time due to the involvement of foreign legal jurisdictions,' he also said. 'We need to provide much more information to them (the two cases), and after we receive the necessary data, we will proceed with investigations within our country,' he added. In March, the MACC initiated two investigation papers regarding alleged bribery and embezzlement involving Sapura Energy Bhd. The investigations stem from the MACC's preliminary findings at the end of 2023, which involved claims related to the company. The MACC said the two investigation papers were opened to investigate activities related to money laundering and embezzlement from around 2018 when the company was formerly known as Sapura Kencana Petroleum Bhd.

Embroidery project changes the lives of women in a Moroccan fishing village
In a small village on the coast of southern Morocco, women gather in a house to create collaborative works of textile art, and also earn a living. Several hunch over large canvasses, embroidering their latest piece at the women-only workshop, in the village of 400 people. Some of their works have been shown internationally. 'This project has changed my life,' said Hanane Ichbikili, a 28-year-old former nursing student turned project creative director. 'And yet I had never held an embroidery needle before,' she said. Just 19% of Moroccan women hold steady jobs, according to official figures, and in rural areas they are particularly affected by poverty, unpaid labour and a lack of opportunity. An artist with roots in both Morocco and France has tried to make a difference. Margaux Derhy founded the workshop in 2022 in her father's native village of Sidi R'bat, around 70km south of Agadir, to fulfil her 'dream to make art with purpose'. The project uses textiles and old photographs to explore her family heritage before they left the country in the 1960s, turning sepia-toned portraits and scenes into large silk-and-linen canvases. The North African country was a protectorate of France before gaining its independence in 1956. Being able to embroider and earn an income means a lot to the women. Creative process The project is more than just personal for Derhy – it also provides local women in the small fishing village employment. 'I wanted to be engaged on the ground,' said Derhy, adding that she hired 10 local women to work full-time for a monthly salary exceeding Morocco's private-sector minimum wage of 3,045 dirhams (RM1,410). The women's hands glide over frames that were once used by Paris' prestigious Maison Lesage, the world- famous embroidery house that has worked with some of the greatest names in fashion. The creative process is collaborative, with Derhy drawing an outline and the team then gathering to choose the threads and colour palette for each section. A canvas can take up to five months to complete. The finished works, priced at up to US$5,620 (RM23,823), have been shown in exhibitions in Marrakesh, Paris and Brussels. Future exhibits are planned for Casablanca's L'Atelier 21 and Tabari Artspace Gallery in Dubai. The workshop has also helped to challenge perceived ideas about women in the village. 'At first, some of the women had to hide to come because it was frowned upon,' said Khadija Ahuilat, 26, who oversees operations. Just 19% of Moroccan women hold steady jobs, and in rural areas, they are particularly affected by poverty, unpaid labour and a lack of opportunity. A blessing She said some people thought the project 'was nonsense, and a woman should stay at home'. 'But we managed to change that. I'm very proud to have contributed to this change, even if on a small scale.' Her mother, Aicha Jout, 50, a widow who once gathered mussels and raised livestock to support her family, is now one of the embroiderers. 'It changes a lot for me to be here,' she said. 'I love the idea of embroidering on pictures, but also of passing on the craft to other women.' Jout learned to embroider at the age of 12, and has trained the rest of her mostly single or widowed colleagues. 'There aren't really a lot of job opportunities here, so when the chance came, I didn't hesitate for a second,' said Haddia Nachit, 59, one of the workshop's most efficient embroiders. Her nickname among the women is 'TGV' – after France's high-speed train. Seated next to Nachit, Fadma Lachgar, also 59, said the work allowed her to help her family. 'Resuming embroidery at my age, after 20 years of stopping, is a blessing,' she said. – AFP
