A court witness has testified that Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, a former aide to then-Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin, solicited a share of a RM19 million Royal Malaysian Police consultancy agreement, raising fresh questions about ministerial oversight.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Bersatu president, has publicly addressed the party's leadership crisis, asserting that former deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin orchestrated efforts to unseat him from the presidency.
