Ahmad Zahid: YAB advanced RM1.3mil to PDRM FA which was in financial trouble


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court here on Tuesday (May 24) that he advanced RM1.3mil of Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) funds to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) Football Association (PDRM FA) because its players and staff had not received their salaries and allowances for four months.

Ahmad 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 PDRM.
