KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu did not pay individuals who led its internal bureaus, including its former legal head Haniff Khatri Abdulla, the High Court heard today.
Marzuki Mohamad, a former principal private secretary to party president Muhyiddin Yassin, said no payments were made to Haniff during the time he headed Bersatu’s legal and constitutional bureau in the party’s early years because that was the practice then.
“Two other lawyers also offered their services voluntarily. It was standard practice not to offer remuneration,” said Marzuki, who now lectures at a university.
