Amhari today insisted that the US$200,000 which was transferred to his Maybank account on April 5, 2011 was a “bridging loan” from Low to enable him to buy a new house, while he tried to sell off his old house. Earlier, Shafee highlighted that the house that Amhari wanted to sell for RM700,000 in 2011 was to a couple who were only aged 24 then.
Amhari said he had through lawyers submitted an appeal to the Selangor government, after the initial application for the sale of the house was rejected.
