Nor Mohamed Yakcop Denies Knowledge of Apartment Use for RM2.134 Million

Former Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop testified that he was unaware of his former aide, Hasbie Satar, using an apartment rented by Nor Mohamed for the purpose of storing RM2.134 million. Nor Mohamed stated that the Teluk Air Tawar, Penang apartment was intended for meetings with local politicians. He further indicated that Hasbie would typically inform him if he intended to use the apartment during visits to Penang.
Lack of Awareness Regarding Political Funding

Nor Mohamed explicitly stated in court that he possessed no knowledge of political funding. He described himself as more of a technical person rather than a politician, asserting that he had not received any such funds during his tenure. He also testified that Hasbie, his political secretary, had never raised the issue of political funding with him.
Apartment's Intended Purpose

The apartment in Teluk Air Tawar, Penang, was rented by Nor Mohamed for the specific purpose of holding meetings with local politicians. He reiterated that he had no prior knowledge that Hasbie might have used this premises to keep the RM2.134 million in cash.
Communication Regarding Apartment Usage

According to Nor Mohamed's testimony, Hasbie typically communicated his intentions if he planned to use the apartment when visiting Penang. This established practice suggests that any use of the apartment by Hasbie for purposes other than those intended by Nor Mohamed would have been communicated, which did not happen in this instance regarding the RM2.134 million.
