KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told on Tuesday that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi found other sources of funding to continue with the Tuminah Hamidi Mosque construction project in Bagan Datuk, Perak after the Yayasan Akalbudi account was frozen by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission .
He said this during cross-examination by Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar at Ahmad Zahid’s defence trial on 12 charges of breach of trust, eight charges of corruption and 27 charges of money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit in YAB's funds. Ramli also confirmed that the construction of the mosque was through a letter of agreement between Noble Energy Construction Sdn Bhd as the contractor, Yayasan Restu and Yayasan Al-Falah which was prepared by law firm Lewis & Co.
The witness also did not agree with a suggestion put forth by Mohd Dusuki that Yayasan Akalbudi should have been included in the agreement as the project was a noble contribution and need not be veiled in secrecy.
