Former S’gor MB Khir takes second wife

KUALA LUMPUR: Former Selangor mentri besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo has married a civil servant, Christine Zanitrah Abdullah, as his second wife.

It is learnt that Dr Mohd Khir, 51, and Christine Zanitrah, 39, who converted to Islam last April, were married at an unknown location in the country yesterday.

“Mohd Khir’s second marriage was conducted in the country. Christine Zanitrah is a civil servant in Putrajaya,” a source close to Dr Mohd Khir told Bernama.

The source also sent several pictures of the couple at their wedding ceremony.

Christine Zanitrah wore a dress designed by Datuk Radzuan Radziwill.

Dr Mohd Khir married his first wife Zaharah Kechik in 1990. They have six children.

On March 29, Dr Mohd Khir was granted parole after serving half of his one-year prison term for corruption.

He was freed on May 27.

On Sept 22 last year, the Federal Court upheld his 12-month jail sentence and found him guilty of using his position to obtain two plots of land and a bungalow unit in Section 7, Shah Alam, eight years ago.
