KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who established Yayasan Akalbudi, instructed a bank officer to withdraw RM17,953,185.21 from the foundation’s fixed deposit account to be paid to Messrs Lewis & Co, the trustee of the foundation.

The High Court here heard this testimony from Narimah Miswadi, 47, an operations officer at Affin Bank (Jalan Bunus, Kuala Lumpur branch), who said Ahmad Zahid had also told her to make the payment through a banker’s cheque.
