Marzuki, who is managing director of construction firm Tekad Nusantara Sdn Bhd, said he was introduced by his friend known as “Haji Saad” to Zahid in late 2018, with a site visit made to the bungalow located at Lot 403 of Country Heights. Marzuki described the house as being in an abandoned state before renovations.
Marzuki said his company had received an advance payment of RM50,000 on September 28, 2018, with the final renovation cost for the bungalow being RM1,424,643.20 by the time works were fully completed on March 30, 2019 due to addition in renovation works. Explaining further in court today, Marzuki said that the payment for the renovation works were done properly, adding that he would make claims for payments based on progress in the works and that Zahid would provide cash payments within seven days of each claim.
In his witness statement, Marzuki confirmed that there were no written contracts for the renovation works on the Country Heights bungalow and he had only received verbal instructions from Zahid, also confirming that he did not issue any receipts for the payments received from Zahid. Asked by Zahid’s lawyer Mohd Haziq Dhiyauddin Razali, Marzuki said he did not know if there was a meeting room in the renovated house, but agreed that there was a space for Muslim prayers including carpets, and that there were rooms to stay in.
