Former Felda chairman Isa Samad says he never received any kickbacks over the Kuching hotel sale.
He said he asked Zahid to clarify to MACC his statement implicating him as the allegation was serious. However, Zahid did not do so until Isa was charged in court in October 2018.“I sacked him as my special officer in 2017 because he supported the opposition, Pakatan Harapan,” he said, adding that Zahid had a “bad track record” in politics.
“If I do not have such authority, why do I ask Ikhwan for money? I do not understand how Ikhwan can interpret ‘salam’ as a request for gratification,” he said. “As a politician, I am cautious and it is impossible for me to accept cash in huge amounts in my office where the staff could easily witness it,” he said.
