From the 51 cheques, Rajen Taran also confirmed three cheques totalling RM107,509.55 to Ahmad Izhan Abdul Rashid, two cheques totalling RM360,000 to TS Consultancy & Resources, and one cheque dated November 19, 2015 for RM1.3 million to Persatuan Bola Sepak Polis Diraja Malaysia. Based on testimony from other prosecution witnesses previously, Yayasan Akalbudi was said to have paid RM107,509.55 to Allianz General Insurance agent Ahmad Izhan for the road tax and insurance of private vehicles linked to Zahid, RM1.

The funds for the transfer of RM17,953,185.21 to Lewis & Co were taken from Yayasan Akalbudi’s seven fixed deposit accounts with Affin Bank then, Rajen Taran explained in court today. Asked by Hisyam, Rajen Taran confirmed that he could not show any circular resolution or authorisation letter by Yayasan Akalbudi to authorise Affin Bank to clear cheques that bear stamped-on signatures, before agreeing that such a situation would amount to unauthorised clearance of cheques if the cheques had stamped-on signatures.
