Prosecution wants court to cite Zahid for contempt


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who had his graft trial adjourned for the day due to a purported meeting with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, could be cited for contempt of court after the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) denied there were any meetings with politicians on Monday (March 2).

The High Court had called for parties in the trial to convene Monday afternoon after the PMO issued a statement that the Prime Minister was only scheduled to meet the Chief Secretary and other heads of agencies, not politicians.
