‘No consent for withdrawal’


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court heard that the withdrawal of RM17.9mil from Yayasan Akalbudi funds was a criminal breach of trust because there was no consent from the charity foundation’s board of trustees.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer Muhammad Fazli Zulkifli, 36, testified yesterday that the withdrawal from the foundation’s Affin Bank account to be transferred into a Maybank account belonging to Messrs Lewis & Co, the foundation’s trustee, was instructed by Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
