00:00 The RM10 million from Dato' Sri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to businessman Datuk Wasi Khan
00:08 was a form of investment and not a loan, the Kuala Lumpur High Court heard on Monday.
00:15 Businessman Dato' Sri Khalid Muhammad Jiwa said this during the defence proceeding involving
00:19 Zahid, who's accused of money laundering, corruption and criminal breach of trust involving
00:25 funds belonging to charitable foundation Yayasan Akau Budi. Khalid, also known as Datuk K,
00:31 is the husband of Songshas, Datuk Sri Siti Norhaliza.
00:36 The eighth defence witness said Zahid provided the funds for Ahmadah Holdings Sendram Bahad
00:41 to bid on a tender of coal supply to TNB.
00:45 The accused was then Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister during the Barisan National
00:49 Administration.
00:51 Khalid told the court that Zahid did not interfere in a process set by TNB as that would be a
00:57 crime.
00:58 During cross-examination by DPP, Datuk Muhammad Dusuki Mokhtar, the witness maintained that
01:03 the sum provided was only to fulfil the tender requirements.
01:08 Asked if he knew the source of the money given by Zahid, Khalid replied that he did not ask.
01:14 The trial continues before Justice Colin Lawrence-Sakira.
