KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court here has dismissed an application by former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is facing 47 corruption charges, for the temporary return of his impounded passport to perform the umrah.
After hearing submissions by both defence and prosecution on Friday (May 3), Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said performing the umrah, although highly recommended during the fasting month, was not compulsory.
