KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — Charitable foundation Yayasan Akalbudi’s cheques were issued in the past to pay off Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s personal credit card as this was used to purchase items for donation, his former secretary told the High Court today.
Rosiah said Zahid also asked for her help to handle the finances for Yayasan Akalbudi which was set up by Zahid, confirming that she held both the cheque books for Yayasan Akalbudi’s Affin Bank account and for Zahid’s personal Maybank account. She said Yayasan Akalbudi does not have credit cards and that Zahid’s personal credit cards would occasionally be used to buy items to be donated to mosques.
Rosiah said greeting cards could be in the range of thousands, while there were usually around 300 to 400 certificates of appreciation which needed to be signed depending on the number of participants of an event.
