Abdullah Abdol Razak, a 40-year-old preacher and influencer, and Noor Sahira Abdullah, the secretary of Pertubuhan Rezeki Infaq Malaysia (PRIM), were charged today with multiple counts of criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving around RM15.4 million of NGO funds at the Sessions Court in Seremban [1, 2, 3, 4].

Abdullah faces 34 charges of criminal breach of trust amounting to RM13.8 million, and 17 money laundering charges involving RM1.56 million [1, 2, 3, 4]. The alleged offences span from February 28, 2023, to March 31, 2026, for breach of trust, and between May 18, 2024, and February 24, 2026, for money laundering, all linked to transactions at a bank in Seremban district [1, 2, 3, 4].

The charges include Abdullah dishonestly approving payments from PRIM’s funds, including transfers to his personal bank account, without authorization from the NGO's general meeting [1, 2, 3, 4]. Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Ahmad Akram Gharib noted the offences were non-bailable but left the bail decision to the court’s discretion, initially proposing RM1 million [1].

Defence lawyer Azrul Zulkifli Stork said the proposed bail was excessive as all Abdullah’s accounts were frozen and urged the court to grant RM700,000 bail instead. He described Abdullah as married with 11 children aged 4 to 15, earning an unstable income as an influencer and restaurant owner [1, 4].

Noor Sahira Abdullah, 30, was charged with abetment of the criminal breach of trust offences and pleaded not guilty [3]. She was granted bail of RM200,000 with two sureties, while Abdullah was granted bail totaling RM700,000 with conditions including surrendering his passport and no witness tampering [1, 2, 3, 4].

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested Abdullah on April 22, 2026. The commission froze 15 bank accounts linked to Abdullah and PRIM, amounting to approximately RM16.5 million [5, 6]. In the investigation, MACC seized cash, foreign currency, watches, handbags, jewellery, and gold items worth tens of thousands of ringgit [5, 6].

Abdullah was charged under Section 409 of the Penal Code for criminal breach of trust and the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 for the money laundering allegations. The offenses carry jail terms of 2 to 20 years for breach of trust and up to 15 years for money laundering, alongside potential fines and whipping [1, 2, 3, 4].

Both defendants are scheduled for a case mention in court on September 28, 2026 [3].
