KUALA LUMPUR: A former exco member of Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) in Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) was not lying when he testified against Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, but was afraid of being charged for another case, the High Court here heard on Monday (July 4).

Abdul Hannaan Khairy, 29, said his testimony that the Muar Member of Parliament asked him to "backdate" a quotation date and receipt amounting to RM250,000 in relation to Armada souvenirs was true.
