On August 20, a witness appeared before the Sessions Court, revealing that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, a former political secretary to a former Home Minister, had sought a portion of the RM19 million consultancy fee he had received from a Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) project. The witness, Datuk Seri Mohd Khairi Mat Jahya, the managing director of Al Khairi Group Berhad, testified during the trial of Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, who faces three corruption charges involving RM350,000.
The witness stated that on a meeting in mid-April 2020, Sayed Amir Muzzakkir requested a portion of the consultancy fee, explaining that his inquiry was for political purposes. Mohd Khairi further noted that Sayed had been introduced to the company by the then Home Minister, Hamzah Zainudin, and had sought political funding from Mo-Hairi.
When questioned why he did not grant Sayed a portion of the RM19 million, Mohd Khairi explained that at that time, they lacked project details, documents, and profiles, making it impossible to agree based on verbal discussions alone.
