The parents of Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said their son was pressured by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to support Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin during investigations into the RM250,000 missing from his home in 2020.

Syed Abdul Rahman Abdullah Alsagoff, 69, and Shariffah Mahani Syed Abdul Aziz, 62, told the High Court today that the MACC officers had questioned them from morning to night on several occasions and had also suggested to them to tell Syed Saddiq to support the government of the day so they would not be harassed.

Rahman said his son had strong principles and was not keen to support Muhyiddin and he had an inkling that the powers in government at the time would make an effort to force his hand.

Gobind: Was Syed Saddiq forced to support Muhyiddin and did you feel if he didn’t the family members would be threatened?

Syed Abdul Rahman: Yes. Muhyiddin had a thin majority and I felt they would betray my son as he has strong principles and high integrity and I also advised him not to (support Muhyiddin’s government). I told him to be honest till the end and don’t give in.

This was corroborated by his wife Shariffah during the cross-examination.

Gobind: When you were being questioned at MACC, were you told anything regarding to the government?

Shariffah: I can’t forget one thing they said that made me sad. They said wouldn’t it be better if I told my son to support the government of the day instead, so my husband and my family won’t be harassed by them anymore. This part I cannot forget.

Gobind: What did you think they meant by that?

Shariffah: I feel my son was a victim of politics because he didn’t give in to their demands. Anytime something important like a vote or matters that needed MPs’ support he would warn us to be careful as the authorities would likely target us.

Gobind: So in this case Syed Saddiq did tell you that he is being pressured to support Muhyiddin?

Shariffah: Yes, that’s true.

Syed Saddiq is standing trial for criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM1 million and misappropriation of RM120,000 belonging to the youth wing of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), the Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda or Armada.

During trial today both parents said they had been to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya several times from 9.30 am in the morning all the way till 8.30pm at night.

Shariffah said the officers had asked her about her finances as far back as 2016 nit-picking every detail she spent in those years. She said they used scare tactics against her as being a teacher she had supplemented her meagre income with tuition classes.

She said the officers had caused her so much stress that her cancer returned for the second time in July 2020.

“I was scared when they said things like I needed to declare taxes on the tuition fees. It was like trying to scare me into not getting my pension. This after serving for 38 years.

“Not only that they also drove to Johor Bharu to find my other kids and question them. They were just starting to enter the workforce and most of their possessions were from loans so that sort of thing was scary to see and it’s never happened before to us,” she added.
