KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — Former home minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today said he had sought the services of moneychanger Omar Ali Abdullah to help bank in cash donations allegedly from tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary’s charity Yayasan Albukhary into a bank account purportedly held on trust for Ahmad Zahid’s charity Yayasan Akalbudi.

Disagreeing that the RM7.5 million were illegal funds, Ahmad Zahid insisted that the cash handled by Omar Ali are donations from Yayasan Albukhary. Ahmad Zahid had testified today of how Yayasan Akalbudi had allegedly donated two bungalows in Country Heights in Selangor to Yayasan Al-Falah to be used for those studying the Muslims’ holy book, the al-Quran.

He said the prosecution had not called in any witnesses from Yayasan Albukhary to dispute or deny his claim that Yayasan Albukhary had made cash donations to Yayasan Akalbudi. “I then asked for Omar Ali’s help to deposit the cash into Lewis & Co’s client’s account because it was quite complicated for Lewis & Co to deposit that cash in the bank,” he said, without elaborating why it would be “complicated” for the law firm.

“I state that I never ordered Omar Ali to convert the cash donations into cheques,” he said, adding that Omar Ali had previously testified in court that it was his own initiative to carry out the conversions from cash to cheques.“Therefore, I wish to stress again that the donation money from Yayasan Albukhary is not proceeds from unlawful activities,” he claimed.
