Syed Saddiq Was Under Pressure To Support Muhyiddin Parents
Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s father and mother testified that their son was put under pressure to support then prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
The former youth and sports minister’s parents testified this during today’s trial against the Muar MP over alleged misappropriation and money laundering of more than RM1 million in funds from Bersatu’s Youth wing.
As the accused looked on from the dock, his father Syed Abdul Rahman Alsagoff told the Kuala Lumpur High Court about the alleged pressure.
“I honestly said that the support for Muhyiddin was thin then (in 2020) and it was certain my son would be oppressed (dianiaya) as his politics were not in line with that of Tan Sri (Muhyiddin).
“I know my son is stern and of high integrity and I advised him to move forward and to maintain a strong and honest stance,” Syed Rahman said during cross-examination by defence counsel Gobind Singh Deo.
When Gobind asked whether Syed Saddiq (above) was being investigated as coercion to support Muhyiddin, the witness agreed.

“As a mother, my heart stopped (tersantap) when the (MACC) officer told me it would be better if I advise my son to just follow the then government so that my husband and I would not be investigated anymore,” Sharifah claimed.
“As a mother, I love my son and know about his sacrifice, it is not easy, I regard my son as a political victim,” she testified.
To a question from Gobind whether Syed Saddiq was being pressured to support the then government under Muhyiddin, she agreed.
