Court hears RM100,000 deposited to Syed Saddiq's personal bank account


Gobind Singh Deo is Syed Saddiq's lawyer 

The Kuala Lumpur High Court was yesterday told that RM100,000 of the RM120,000 transferred out from the account of Armada Bumi Bersatu Enterprise (ABBE) as instructed by Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman had not been used for the 14th general election (GE14).

Muar MP RM100,000 into his ASB account 

MalaysiaNow reported that Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer Nurul Hidayah Kamarudin said investigations showed that the Muar MP instead deposited the RM100,000 into his Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) account through two transactions in June 2018.

Syed Saddiq instructed Rafiq Hakim Razali

According to the 28th prosecution witness, Syed Saddiq instructed Rafiq Hakim Razali, who was then assistant treasurer of Bersatu’s Youth wing, to transfer a sum of RM120,000 from the ABBE account into his personal Maybank account through four transactions on May 8, 11, 12 and 21 in 2018 to be used for the GE14 campaign.

Source of the money 

To a question from deputy public prosecutor Mohd Afif Ali on the source of the money deposited into the ABBE account, Nurul Hidayah said it was from the sales proceeds of the wing's souvenirs, T-shirts and fundraising receptions.

Afif: On the fundraising reception, did you investigate how many such events were held?

Nurul Hidayah: Two receptions were held on April 7 and 8, in Muar, Johor and Hotel De Palma in Ampang. Both were held during the day. 

Afif: Where did the proceeds from these events end up? 

Nurul Hidayah: It was deposited into the ABBE account. 

During the afternoon proceedings, meanwhile, the atmosphere turned a little tense when lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, representing Syed Saddiq, raised his voice when cross-examining the witness because she did not answer some of the questions.

Welfare activities 

Nurul Hidayah had disagreed with Gobind’s suggestion that there were welfare activities carried out by political movements in Muar.

Gobind: Why don’t you agree that it exists? Have you met Amsyar (the individual said to have managed Syed Saddiq’s political and personal finances)? 

Nurul Hidayah: It was not me who recorded his statements. 

Gobind: So, it wasn’t you who met and asked him (Amsyar)?

However, the witness kept mum when repeatedly asked by the lawyer to answer the question. 

Gobind: Answer me, Puan Nurul Hidayah (with a raised voice). So, the truth is you don’t know do you? As an investigating officer, you failed to fully investigate the case.

Nurul Hidayah, however, continued her silence. 

Syed Saddiq, 29, was charged as the then Bersatu youth chief, entrusted with the control of Armada funds, with abetting Rafiq Hakim with CBT of RM1 million in funds belonging to the wing.

He was also charged with misusing property for himself, namely RM120,000 from the Maybank Islamic account belonging to Armada Bumi Bersatu Enterprise by causing Rafiq Hakim to dispose of the money at Malayan Banking, Jalan Pandan 3/6A, Taman Pandan Jaya between April 8 and 21, 2018.

He also faces two counts of engaging in money laundering activities through two transactions of RM50,000, believed to be the proceeds of unlawful activities, from his Maybank Islamic account into his Amanah Saham Bumiputera account.

The trial before judicial commissioner Azhar Abdul Hamid continues on August 3.

MAHATHIR MAY REJOIN UMNO

Image
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could  morph  into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was  recruiting  UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won  only 13 seats  out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...

BERI PELUANG LIM KIT SIANG JADI PERDANA MENTERI SAMPAI 2023

Image
Penyelesaian terbaik untuk kemelut politik Malaysia. Lim Kit Siang sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia Ke-9  (2020-2023) Lim Kit Siang, Ahli Parlimen (DAP) Iskandar Puteri, Negeri Johor Gambar dari NST SAYA orang Melayu. Saya penganut agama Islam. Saya sayangkan bangsa Melayu. Saya juga sangat mencintai agama suci yang dibawa oleh Junjungan Besar Nabi Muhammad SAW. Saya bersaksi bahawa tiada Tuhan yang disembah melainkan Allah. Dan saya bersaksi Nabi Muhammad itu adalah Pesuruh Allah. Atas dasar inilah saya mengemukakan cadangan yang mungkin tidak disenangi ramai orang Melayu yang beragama Islam, majoriti penduduk Malaysia. Suka atau tidak, orang Melayu yang layak mengundi merupakan kuasa penentu pemerintahan. Apa pun, negara ini tetap diketuai oleh ketua bukan eksekutif (yang mempunyai kuasa-kuasa tertentu), iaitu Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Cadangan ini adalah satu cadangan yang serius. Bukan kerana kecewa dan bukan juga untuk menguji pasaran (test market). Ianya semata-mata untuk kebaik...

Who are the lion, tiger, fox and wolves in Malaysian politics?

Image
Ten Wolves Under the Administration of a Tiger The Lion put the Tiger in charge of ten wolves Every day, the Lion brought them eleven pieces of meat. The Tiger divided the food fairly: he kept one piece for himself and gave the other ten, all equal in size, to the wolves—one piece each. Several days passed, and the wolves began to whisper among themselves in discontent.  “Why does the Tiger get as much as we do?” said one. “He hardly does anything. All he does is hand out the food,” another agreed. “There are ten of us and only one of him. If we drive him away, we can decide for ourselves who deserves how much.” The Tiger heard their whispers, but he did not change his rules. He believed that as long as he treated everyone fairly, there would be no reason for rebellion. But one day, the wolves surrounded him.  “We don’t need a leader anymore,” said the boldest among them. “Leave.” The Tiger had no desire to fight ten wolves. He left the pack and returned to the Lion. The next ...

It happens everywhere—Not only in our country

THE WOLF NEVER WANTED THE ARGUMENT A Wolf And A Lamb Meet At A Stream. Not As Enemies. As Neighbors Sharing Water. The Wolf Is Higher Up The Brook. The Water Runs From Him To Her. Still, He Accuses. “You Muddy My Water.” The Lamb Answers Gently. She Is Correct. Physics Is On Her Side. The Water Cannot Flow Upward. The Accusation Collapses Instantly. So The Wolf Replaces It. “I Heard You Spoke Ill Of Me Last Year.” The Lamb Explains Again. She Is Six Months Old. She Did Not Exist Last Year. Another Charge Fails. So The Wolf Stops Pretending To Care About Truth. “If It Was Not You, It Was Your Father.” And With That, The Argument Ends. The Teeth Appear. The Lamb Is Eaten. This Story Is Not About Cruelty. It Is About Power. The Wolf Never Wanted An Explanation. He Wanted A Justification. Each Accusation Was Not A Question But A Stepping Stone Toward An Outcome Already Decided. This Is The Pattern Predators Follow: They Accuse First. Then Adjust The Accusation Until Resistance Looks Like G...
