Umno's Hutan Melintang assemblyperson Khairuddin Tarmizi today admitted to signing a false statutory declaration (SD) saying that Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had repaid Yayasan Akalbudi after using its funds to settle his bills.

Khairuddin, who is also on Yayasan Akalbudi's board of trustees, was testifying at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today as the 15th witness in Zahid's graft case involving his alleged misuse of the foundation's funds.
