KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A witness told the High Court that he was not aware that five cheques totalling RM366,000 that were converted to Australian currency for a home purchase deposit were eventually made out to Messrs Lewis & Co, a trustee of Yayasan Akalbudi belonging to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Retiree T. Rajan, 69, said he only wrote down the date, amount and signed the cheques without writing the name of the payee, before handing them over to the money changer.
