KUALA LUMPUR: Event organising firm Solar Shine Sdn Bhd received a RM1mil cheque from Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2015 for the promotion of the 1Malaysia programme nationwide.
Company owner Datuk Lew Choon Lai told the High Court here that the funds were used for his voluntary ground campaign involving the poor Chinese and Indian communities and senior citizens.
Lew testified before Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali that he was a strong believer in 1Malaysia, which he deemed as a dream policy for all Malaysians. "I wanted to do something, to serve such an honourable prime minister then for something I feel very strongly about," Lew said while being cross-examined by Najib's counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah on the 11th day of the SRC International trial on Tuesday .He was so engrossed with the trial at this time that he left his phone and book – entitled Thinking Fast and Slow, authored by Daniel Kahneman – untouched.
