During cross-examination Wednesday (Aug 19), lawyer Azrul Zulkifli Stork, representing Rosmah, claimed that Saidi's testimony in the High Court contradicted the statement he gave to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Azrul: How can you say the RM1.5mil was for Rosmah when you did not see her carrying a bag containing the money upstairs (referring to Rosmah's house in Langgak Duta)? Saidi: I did not see Rosmah carrying the bag upstairs but the money was placed by my personal driver (Shamsul Rizal Sharbini) next to a green sofa in the living room of Rosmah's house. The 17th prosecution witness also disagreed that the RM1.5mil was withdrawn for other purposes and not given to Rosmah. Asked if all the money was added, the amount would be about RM1.5mil, Saidi replied: "No, I do not agree."
