Ex-home minister’s aide received RM350,000 in paper bags, court told

Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court heard today that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir Al Sayed Mohamad, a former political secretary to a former home minister, was given RM350,000 in cash by a witness in paper bags. The aide requested the money from Nexuscorpgroup Sdn Bhd's (NXG) managing director, Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof, at the company's former office in Shah Alam in early December 2020.

Wan Azhar informed Sayed that he could pay the money in two instalments, which were later paid on December 4 and December 8, 2020. Both installments were handed over to Sayed in cash in paper bags at his office in Yayasan Tanah Aku, Publika on December 4 and December 16, 2020, respectively. Sayed demanded the money to assist Nexuscorpgroup Sdn Bhd in securing a police project worth RM381,112,042.44. The trial continues on September 22.
