KUALA LUMPUR – Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman arrived at the court complex here at 9.18am to enter his defence as he faces four charges relating to criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of funds, and money laundering.
Wearing a navy blue suit and a white shirt, the former youth and sports minister immediately entered the court building without speaking to media personnel.
Arriving some 15 minutes earlier were his parents, Syed Abdul Rahman Alsagoff and Mahani Syed Abdul Aziz, who were also witnesses.
Today, Syed Saddiq will enter his defence for one charge of abetting an Armada former assistant treasurer to commit a criminal breach of trust, and another charge for misusing party contributions amounting to RM120,000, belonging to Armada Bumi Bersatu Enterprise.
He will also enter his defence for two charges of money laundering, in two transactions of RM50,000 each, believed to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
In October, Syed Saddiq was ordered to enter his defence after the judge found that the prosecution had proven a prima facie case.
The court had set February 22 to 24, March 13 and 14, and April 10 to 14 as trial dates. – The Vibes, February 22, 2023
