BATU PAHAT: Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had met the wealthy Arab family who had donated the US$700mil that was channelled into party president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s personal account.

He said the family, who he did not named, had donated the money because of Malaysia’s commitment in fighting terrorism, and being a moderate Muslim country with a plural society.
