Bersatu’s RM1mil spent on charities, not on Syed Saddiq, court told FMTNews
Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has closed his defence on charges of misappropriating Bersatu funds amounting to RM1.12 million, and money laundering.
Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said the RM1 million was withdrawn from Armada’s account on March 6, 2020 to assist those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and the sudden lockdown imposed by the government as a measure to contain the spread of the virus. From that amount, RM120,000 was said to be party funds for the 2018 general election, while the remaining RM1 million was allegedly withdrawn by him without the top leadership’s consent.Gobind told the court both Syed Saddiq and former Bersatu Youth wing assistant treasurer Rafiq Hakim Razali had acted in the best interest of the party to assist the people who needed help during the pandemic.
The court also previously heard that Rafiq and Ahmad Redzuan Shafi, the then Bersatu Youth assistant secretary, went to the CIMB KL Sentral branch on March 6, 2020 to withdraw RM1 million from the youth wing’s account.As for the charge of allegedly misappropriating RM120,000 from an entity linked to Armada, Gobind told the court the money was a “reimbursement” to Syed Saddiq.
