SHAH ALAM: High Court here was told that the money given by Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) to former Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamid was a political donation and not for corrupt purposes.

Former UKSB director VK Lee said this when cross-examined by counsel Hamidi Mohd Noh, representing Ahmad Zahid at the trial of the Foreign Visa System corruption case here on Thursday .

When questioned by Ahmad Zahid's other lawyer, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, if the political donation was for Umno, the witness said to his understanding, it was for the government of the day. Ahmad Zaidi: When you go to Country Heights, Kajang, nobody can enter without an access card and the driver has to register at the guardhouse. Did the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission ask you for such details?The witness also agreed with Ahmad Zaidi, who said to him that MACC never asked him to give any proof such as a Touch 'n Go statement, to show that he went to Ahmad Zahid's house.

Ahmad Zahid, 69, is facing 33 charges of receiving bribes amounting to SG$13.56mil from UKSB for himself as home minister then to extend the contract of the company as the operator of the one-stop centre service in China and the supply VLN system as well as to maintain the contract agreement to supply the VLN integrated system to the same company by the ministry.

Rasuah means bribes. Bribes means money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust or awarded for something in return. It means Zahid and BN took bribes by abusing power. Zahid & the whole BN to be charged!!!!😡😡😡

Kuda Nan set the precedence already. 2 mil bribe is political donation and poof he got away scott free.Wak Jahid is trying to do the same here.

Ok la, im going to start a new political party. Doesnt matter whether i win or not. As long as i can receive donations

Political donation is not allowed under AMLA. Full stop.

Oh! And family holidays and wife birthday bash 🤔

Just so happened that the “contribution” coincided with a mega visa project that lasted as long, right?

🤑👹💩💀🤥🤬🤡👿👊🏽🖕🏽

This kind of excuse can only happened in Malaysia 🤦🏻‍♀️

The company UKSB have to resort to giving money to Zahid who has the influence to award contract. This act of giving Zahid money is call bribe, not what Zahid finally decides what to do with the cash when he receives them. I see them trying to confuse us with semantics.

Oh I see just rename it into donation & all will be OK right?

How cnveniet...career in politics ia jz wonderful.
