RM1.3m advance to police football club was aid, says Zahid

  • 2 years ago
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court in Kuala Lumpur yesterday that he advanced RM1.3 million of Yayasan Akalbudi funds to the Royal Malaysia Police Football Association (PDRM FA) because its players and staff had not received their salaries and allowances for four months.

Zahid, 69, said prior to that, he had never extended any contributions to the PDRM FA, although as the home minister then, he had jurisdiction over the police.

The former deputy prime minister said the advance was in line with the objective of Yayasan Akalbudi’s establishment to help ensure the welfare of those in need.
