KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today denied that the RM6 million in two cheques he personally received from a passport chips supplier’s official in April 2017 were “bribes” to help the company get a contract worth over RM300 million.

Abu Hanifah retired from Datasonic Group Berhad on January 31, 2020, while Chew resigned from the same company in March 2021. “I confirm that the cheque paid to Lewis & Co and banked into Lewis & Co’s client account is a political donation to me, who was also the deputy prime minister at that time,” the Bagan Datuk MP said, repeating the same answer in reference to the two cheques.

“I wish to stress that Datuk Abu Hanifah and/or Chew Ben Ben had confirmed that political donation encompasses amal jariah that would be contributed to Yayasan Akalbudi,” he said, using the Islamic term meaning charity.
