00:01Millions of ringgit in donations flowed into Bursatu because Muhyiddin Yassin was both party
00:06president and prime minister at the time, the prosecution told the High Court as his criminal
00:11trial opened. Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wanladen said the funds linked to
00:17the Janawi Bawa program were not paid to Muhyiddin personally but were deposited into Bursatu's
00:22account. He said the evidence would show that Bursatu would not have received millions of
00:27ringgit in donations if not for Muhyiddin's position as Bursatu president and prime minister.
00:32Wan Shaharuddin also said then finance minister Tenkuzaf al-Aziz only acted on a minute issued by
00:39Muhyiddin and did not personally benefit and neither did his associate Abdo. Muhyiddin faced the seven
00:45charges linked to the Janawi Bawa program including four counts of abusing his position to allegedly
00:50solicit 225.3 million ringgit in bribes for Bursatu from Bukhari Equity Sundarian Berhad,
00:56Nebturi Sundarian Berhad, Mamfor Sundarian Berhad, and Azman Yusuf. He also faces three money laundering
01:03charges involving 200 million ringgit deposited into Bursatu's accounts at Ambank and CIMB Bank.
01:09Earlier this morning, Muhyiddin claimed trial to an amended fourth charge in which the amount
01:14allegedly received from Azman was reduced from 12 million ringgit to 4.8 million ringgit.
