No proof Syed Saddiq used RM1mil funds for personal purposes, court hears


Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that former Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and former assistant treasurer Rafiq Hakim Razali had acted in the best interest of Armada at all times, in accordance with their responsibilities under Bersatu's constitution.

Syed Saddiq's counsel Gobind Singh Deo said in court on Monday (April 10) that it is not disputed that Rafiq Hakim had withdrawn RM1mil from the Armada's CIMB account for the purpose of distributing aid for Covid-19, Ramadan, Hari Raya and the welfare of the people impacted during the movement control order in 2020.
