Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman is on trial for criminal breach of trust and money laundering. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, July 20, 2022.
“The money was kept at Rafiq Hakim’s house before it was distributed to Federal Territory Bersatu Youth Information Chief Muhammad Daniel Kusari and then party member Muhammad Naqib Ab Rahim,” he said during examination-in-chief by deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Asyraf Mohamed Tahir at the trial of the Muar MP, who faces four charges related to criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
According to the MACC senior superintendent, the cheques were signed by Rafiq Hakim and Ahmad Redzuan because Syed Saddiq had no time to visit the bank, besides the fact that his signature changed frequently. According to Mohd Syahmeizy, of the RM1 million, some RM650,000 had been distributed to Muhammad Daniel while RM250,000 was to Muhammad Naqib.
Earlier, Mohd Syahmeizy said there were discussions involving Syed Saddiq, Rafiq Hakim and Ahmad Redzuan in early March 2020 and according to statements by witnesses, Syed Saddiq was extremely worried about the political turmoil in the country following the ‘Sheraton Move’.
