Allegations Against Syed Saddiq Regarding RM1 Million in Party Funds

Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman faces charges of criminal breach of trust concerning RM1 million allegedly belonging to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia. The core of the accusation centres on the withdrawal of these funds via cheque from CIMB bank on March 6, 2020.

The former minister is accused of making this RM1 million withdrawal without the explicit prior approval of Bersatu's central leadership committee. At the time of the alleged withdrawal, Syed Saddiq held the position of Bersatu Youth chief. The charge is formally framed under Section 405 of the Penal Code, with potential penalties outlined in Section 406.

The Sessions Court set bail at RM300,000, requiring a RM50,000 payment by the hearing date and the remaining RM250,000 by July 27. He was also ordered to surrender his passport until the case concludes and to report monthly to the MACC's Kuala Lumpur branch. While no gag order was issued, the court cautioned against statements that could be sub judice or constitute contempt of court.
