[superadmin]

JOHOR BARU – Bersatu saw donations and sponsorships increasing by RM40 million following the landmark Sheraton Move in early 2020, which led to the party taking over the reins of federal government from Pakatan Harapan (PH), according to the party’s own accounts.

The statement of accounts for the financial year ending December 31, 2021, was revealed in a judicial review application filed by Captain (Rtd) Datuk Suhaimi Yahya and former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. It includes details of the party’s finances for 2020.

The application was made to challenge the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) decision to freeze the party's bank accounts.

The financial statement shows that Bersatu received RM108.164 million in donations and sponsorships in 2020.

The donations and sponsorships increased by almost RM40 million to RM 147.66 million the following year.
