Notes
The decade old scandal resurfaced on April 7 where it was brought up by Negri Sembilan Speaker Zulkefly Mohamad Omar during a Pakatan Harapan (PH) ceramah during the Rantau by-election which saw Mohamad or more fondly known as Tok Mat, defending his seat.
Zulkefly had highlighted the 2008 case where Mohamad had allegedly broken banking laws by transferring RM10 million to London via a money changer.
