The former deputy prime minister says the change in government in 2018 meant a US$50 million donation from Qatar was received by the Pakatan Harapan administration. FMTNews AhmadZahidHamidi
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says claims that the Qatari donation was channelled into his private account are ‘clearly slanderous’.
In a Facebook post today, the Umno president rubbished claims on social media the money was channelled into his private account.Zahid said the previous Barisan Nasional government had tried to source donations for the Rohingya refugees in the country and Qatar had agreed to donate US$50 million. He provided a link to a post on former deputy prime minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s Facebook page on Nov 25, 2018, which thanked the Qatari government for a US$50 million donation for programmes to help Rohingya refugees in Malaysia.
Zahid, who is also the former home minister, had said yesterday the Malaysian government collaborated with the Qatar Development Fund in three projects: to provide skills training in agriculture and manufacturing, education for Rohingya children, and a medical insurance scheme.
