‘Zahid knew source of money’

KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was aware that repayments for his credit cards were made using Yayasan Akalbudi’s cheques, the High Court was told.

Ahmad Zahid’s former executive secretary, Mejar Mazlina Mazlan @ Ramly said her former employer knew that she used the foundation’s cheques to pay for his credit cards because he had given her permission to do so.“Every time I gave the cheques to Ahmad Zahid, I also gave him the payment statements, ” she said during re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran on the 43rd day of the Umno president’s trial.

To another question by Raja Rozela whether there were other documents she showed to Ahmad Zahid, she said it was Yayasan Akalbudi’s Maybank cheque book. Mazlina, who is the 90th prosecution witness, when questioned by DPP Lee Keng Fatt on the amount of funds in Yayasan Akalbudi’s account between June 2016 until she quit as Ahmad Zahid’s executive secretary in 2018, said it was tens of thousands to millions.Mazlina: Datuk Seri Zahid made ‘spot check’ one or twice a year.

Ahmad Zahid, 67, is facing 47 charges, with 12 of them involving criminal breach of trust, eight for corruption and 27 for money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit in funds belonging to Yayasan Akalbudi.Article type: metered
