KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that former Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and former assistant treasurer Rafiq Hakim Razali had acted in the best interest of Armada at all times, in accordance with their responsibilities under Bersatu's constitution.
Syed Saddiq's counsel Gobind Singh Deo said in court on Monday that it is not disputed that Rafiq Hakim had withdrawn RM1mil from the Armada's CIMB account for the purpose of distributing aid for Covid-19, Ramadan, Hari Raya and the welfare of the people impacted during the movement control order in 2020.
Gobind said at no time was the impugned RM1mil in the direct custody and control of Syed Saddiq personally and neither had any of the same been spent by him personally. Syed Saddiq was charged with abetting Rafiq Hakim, who was entrusted with RM1mil in funds belonging to the wing, to commit criminal breach of trust by misappropriating the funds at CIMB Bank Bhd, Menara CIMB KL Sentral here, on March 6, 2020.
