Azman, testifying as the 27th prosecution witness, maintained his previous conviction that the donation request was an offence. When questioned by Muhyiddin's lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, Azman denied making the complaint to the police because he \"akur\" (trusted) or complied with Muhyiddin's request, but later corrected his statement, claiming he did not report it to avoid accusations of \"bersubahat\" (abetting) Muhyiddin.",
