KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told on Wednesday that Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman had instructed that the RM1mil withdrawn from Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda account be distributed among party wing exco members, a day after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigated and searched his residence in Petaling Jaya in March 2020.
Asked why the RM1mil was distributed all of a sudden to Muhammad Daniel and Muhammad Naqib, the witness replied: The money was distributed after the MACC started investigating and searching YB Syed Saddiq's house on March 31, 2020. The 25th prosecution witness said investigations also revealed that on March 31, 2020, the accused had contacted Rafiq Hakim and instructed him to 'clear' the money kept in his house as he was worried that the cash would be seized by the MACC.
However, he added, the MACC only found RM425,537 on Muhammad Daniel and went on to confiscate the money. "As such, YB Syed Saddiq asked Rafiq Hakim how much money was in the Armada central committee’s account. YB Syed Saddiq stated that the money was the result of hard work during his tenure as Armada chief. Rafiq Hakim then told YB Syed Saddiq that the current account balance was more than RM1mil," he said.
