PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has returned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters to resume his questioning on the Yayasan Akal Budi case.

The Umno president and former deputy prime minister returned to the MACC office at 3.10pm after his session with graft busters was stopped temporarily at 12.25pm for Friday prayers.

He is being called to answer allegations involving the misappropriation of Yayasan Akal Budi funds.

Dr Ahmad Zahid is the chairman of the foundation, set up by his family to help eradicate poverty and Islamic education.

MACC is investigating claims that RM800,000 belonging to the foundation was used to pay off credit card bills.

Earlier Friday, Dr Ahmad Zahid arrived at the MACC headquarters at 9.18am, the third time this week.
