Charge Zahid with contempt of court over remarks on driver's acquittal, says Ramkarpal


PETALING JAYA: A DAP MP has slamed Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for his remarks on the recent acquittal of a woman on a reckless driving charge that caused the death of eight teenage cyclists in Johor Baru in 2017.

Ramkarpal Singh said the Umno president should be charged with contempt of court as the comments suggested that the government was involved and the magistrate Siti Hajar Ali's ruling was not impartial.
