A Bumiputera contractor chief testified in court that then-Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's July 2020 request for contractors to donate to his political party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), was wrong. Azman Yusoff, president of the Bumiputera Contractors Association of Malaysia (PKBM), said the request was an offence, though he agreed with the donation request given to Bersatu.
Azman expressed gratitude for Muhyiddin's support during the Covid-19 pandemic, as his company, KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, received government projects through the Jana Wibawa programme. He stated that KCJ Engineering received RM62 million in July 2021 after applying for the project under Muhyiddin's support. Azman also confirmed that his company, along with two other Bumiputera companies, donated RM4.8 million to Bersatu as gratitude for Muhyiddin's assistance.
