KUALA LUMPUR: Three MPs from Umno defected to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia after the 14th General Election to"save themselves" from being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission , the High Court here heard.
"I was made to understand that the MP was entrusted with handling GE funds but the money was not utilised for Puteri Umno during the election."Instead, the money was taken out and deposited into a different account for personal use, not for the Puteri Umno machinery," he said. He also claimed that another minister, who is the Jeli MP, was entrusted with the party machinery in Kelantan."Some of the funds were supposed to be used for logistics and to bring voters working or living in the Klang Valley to return to Kelantan to cast their votes.As Ahmad Zahid was about to mention the third MP, deputy public prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran stood up to object on grounds of hearsay.
