Former deputy prime minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail today claimed the US$50 million donation by Qatar for Rohingya refugees in Malaysia was never channelled to the then Pakatan Harapan government.

Instead, the former women, family and community development minister said the sum was channelled straight to the NGOs involved, with Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (YKN) merely serving to coordinate.
