Zahid: RM12mil given to certain Filipino organisations


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) says that the RM12mil raised for the release of the four Sarawakian sailors was not paid as ransom but was channelled to certain organisations in the Philippines.

The Deputy Prime Minister said no ransom was paid for the release of the four, as the Government had decided that it would not heed to such demands.
