KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that former Youth and Sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman was put under political pressure to support the government led by former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, two years ago.

Syed Saddiq's mother, Shariffah Mahani Syed Abdul Aziz, 62, said she felt the pressure her son was under when questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission during investigations into the charges against her son."...the MACC officers told me 'wouldn't it be better if my son just followed the current government so that my husband and I would no longer be investigated'.

Syed Saddiq's father, Syed Abdul Rahman Abdullah Alsagoff said he also knew about the political pressure his son was facing."I think my son was investigated for not giving support to the current government at that time. I know my son has high integrity and I advise him to maintain his honest stance,” he said when cross-examined by another lawyer representing Syed Saddiq, Haijan Omar.

"I do not know whether Syed Saddiq has received political funds from any party and I only know that Syed Saddiq's source of income is from being a Member of Parliament and a minister," said the second prosecution witness. He is alleged of having committed the offence at CIMB Bank Berhad, Menara CIMB KL Sentral, Jalan Stesen Sentral 2, here on March 6, 2020, and is charged under Section 406 of the Penal Code which provides imprisonment for up to 10 years with whipping, and is liable to a fine, if found guilty.
