Muhyiddin never asked for donation, Jana Wibawa witness tells court
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin never asked for any contribution, either for himself or Bersatu, a witness in his Jana Wibawa trial told the High Court today.
Former Malaysian prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has been accused of using his position to receive money linked to the Jana Wibawa programme, for which he is currently on trial. A witness, Lian Tan Chuan, testified in court that Muhyiddin never asked for any contribution, either for himself or Bersatu. Lian, the director of Metrasys Sdn Bhd, stated that he had never met Muhyiddin before instructing Aliza Abd Malek to prepare letters of interest for five companies applying for projects under the Jana Wibawa programme.
Lian also denied any intention to deceive the Finance Ministry or the government in securing projects under the programme.
