00:00Lawyer Hanif Khatri Abdullah has denied that a RM12.5 million legal services bill issued to

00:07Brasadu is exorbitant or grossly excessive. He told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today that he

00:13had acted for Brasadu since 2016 when the party was in the process of being set up. He said he

00:20was involved in many things including giving advice to party leaders and reviewing election

00:24candidates. Hanif also told the court that he was not trying to punish Brasadu with the bill but he

00:30did not deny wanting to disassociate himself from the party. He filed a lawsuit in 2021 after receiving

00:37no response from Brasadu on the invoices he sent to the party. In its defense, Brasadu claimed that

00:43Hanif had given it pro bono services from 2016 to 2020. Natasha Bust, FMT.
