KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 -- The High Court here today heard that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's younger brother, Datuk Seri Mohamad Nasaee bought two bungalows in Country Heights, Kajang worth RM5.9 million using a cheque from Messrs Lewis & Co, a trustee of Yayasan Akalbudi belonging to the former deputy prime minister.
Bee Garden Holdings Sdn Bhd director Tan Sri Lee Kim Tiong @ Lee Kim Yew, 65, who was the 57th prosecution witness, said the cheque was for the payment of the company’s two bungalows, which were sold to Yayasan Al-Falah whose chairman of the board of trustees was Mohamad Nasaee.
He said the bungalows were bought through a check dated Jan 4, 2017 for religious purposes as they were near the surau.
"Datuk Eric said that the purchase had some connection with religion but I’m not sure whether it was true or not," he said when responding to additional questions during cross-examination by lawyer Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Zainal.
Ahmad Zaidi: Earlier, you said you know Datuk Zahid (Ahmad Zahid). Did you know that Yayasan Al-Falah, which bought these bungalow lots, had a connection with Datuk Zahid?
