Did Mamfor exclusively donate to Bersatu, excluding other political parties?

Question

Accepted Answer

Mamfor Sdn Bhd Donated Exclusively to Bersatu, Not Other Political Parties

Mamfor Sdn Bhd made payments totalling RM19.5 million exclusively to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) between 2021 and 2022, with no record of donations to other political entities. These transactions, made via 29 cheques, were flagged internally by Bank Muamalat as suspicious due to their unusual nature for a company.
Payments Made Solely to Bersatu

Testimony from Norazeanti Miswan, a banker at Bank Muamalat, confirmed that Mamfor Sdn Bhd's financial activities, specifically concerning political donations, were limited to Bersatu. When questioned about donations to other parties such as Umno, PAS, and DAP, Norazeanti explicitly stated that Mamfor had not made any such contributions, indicating a singular focus on Bersatu for its political funding.
Nature and Purpose of Transactions

The payments from Mamfor, a company whose business nature is construction, were designated as 'donation' or 'political donation' in banking documents. These transactions were considered unusual by banking professionals because companies typically direct payments in alignment with their core business operations and do not commonly fund political parties.
Suspicious Transaction Flags

Bank Muamalat internally flagged all 29 cheques issued by Mamfor to Bersatu as suspicious. This internal reporting was triggered by the large individual cheque amounts, ranging from RM500,000 to RM2 million, and the frequent and consistent nature of these payments made over the 2021 to 2022 period.
Destination of Funds

The total sum of RM19.5 million, disbursed through the 29 cheques from Mamfor, ultimately entered Bersatu's accounts at two different financial institutions. Specifically, 20 cheques amounting to RM14.5 million were deposited into Bersatu's CIMB account between August 2021 and November 2022, while the remaining nine cheques, totalling RM5 million, were credited to Bersatu's AmBank account from February to November 2022.
