On August 26, 2023, during the High Court proceedings of Muhyiddin Yassin's power abuse and money laundering trial, Bumiputera Contractors Association of Malaysia (PKBM) president Datuk Seri Azman Yusoff testified as the prosecution's 27th witness. Azman testified that then Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's request for contractors to donate to his political party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), during a conversation about government projects for Bumiputera contractors in July 2020 was "wrong."
Despite acknowledging the request was incorrect, Azman expressed gratitude to Muhyiddin for helping Bumiputera contractors through government projects under the Jana Wibawa programme during the Covid-19 pandemic. Azman stated that Muhyiddin had informed him spontaneously about contractors being able to donate directly to Bersatu instead of to party members and that he had no malicious intentions against the politician.
