In a Facebook post last Friday (April 15), opposition MP Nik Nazmi hit a blow at former DPM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who justified his doings at the Yayasan Akalbudi saying, “the principle I have held is if the right hand gives, the left hand do not need to know.”
Nik Nazmi retorted against Zahid writing, “If money is believed to be our money, the ‘hadith’ argument is correct. The problem is that the money is doubtful in its source. If Robin Hood steals money and then helps the poor, this argument does not apply to Robin Hood. Not to mention that Robin Hood did not buy a luxury hotel.”
Zahid’s trial in the Yayasan’s case continues on May 23. On January 24, High Court Judge Sequerah ordered Ahmad Zahid to defend himself on 12 charges of breach of trust, eight charges of bribery and 27 for money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit belonging to the foundation, after finding that the prosecution had proved a prima facie case against him.
