SHAH ALAM, June 17 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was today named in court as among the recipients of financial contributions given by Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd , a local company implicated in the corruption trial of Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over the award of a foreign visa system contract.
Muhyiddin was the home minister under the newly formed Pakatan Harapan government at that time, following the electoral defeat of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition in May 2018.Apart from Muhyiddin, Tan also confirmed that UKSB gave a sum of RM3.7 million in cash payments to former youth and sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin for various purposes between 2011 and 2018.
Earlier in the trial, another defence lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik sought to discredit Tan's testimony and even suggested the 17th prosecution witness was part of a company-wide scheme to commit several white collar crimes.
