Malaysians are disgusted with Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for allegedly spending RM 1.3 million on luxurious brands like Lous Vuitton and Hermes.

The prosecution team revealed funds from Yayasan Akalbudi, a charitable donation, were used to pay credit card debts belonging to Zahid and his wife.

Although not nitpicking their spending habits, lead prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran said, “One cannot help but wonder whether they had in mind the poor people in Malaysia when they went shopping in Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton or Hermes.”

The exposing of the alleged misuse of funds left a sour taste in their mouth as they believe it could have been used for the Rakyat.

Tan Beng Chuan on Facebook wrote, “These politicians holding high positions are to enrich themselves and not sparing a thought to help the Rakyat.”

He added that if his passport is returned to him, he will not return due to damning evidence against him.

The prosecutor also claimed Zahid and his wife had used the money as if it was theirs. A total of 43 cheques were used to pay for credit card debts amounting to RM 13 mil.

Ravi Gopal, a teacher, suspects that the charity was to facilitate his criminal activity.

He said, “It sounds like he created it for his own ‘personal charity’ since there are no records of any other contribution from another person or organisation.”

Ravi hopes that his supporters would open their eyes and acknowledge the allegations.

“Him previously giving handouts was only to distract you with dirty money,” he said.
