Court told Zahid asked money changer to convert tranches of cash into cheques
The Kuala Lumpur High Court today heard that former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had approached a money changer to help convert tranches of cash into cheques which were then deposited into the account of Yayasan Akalbudi, a charitable foundation which he founded.
Omar Ali, who was the money changer involved, testified that Zahid made the request during a meeting in 2014 and handed him the bank account number of Yayasan Akalbudi.
