Advise Zahid to refrain from attending meetings, defence team told after trial postponed again


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The defence team of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has been told to advise him to refrain from attending meetings at least a week before his trial date, after the Umno president’s corruption case was postponed again as he is undergoing quarantine.

In granting the adjournment, High Court Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said this was not the first time the former deputy prime minister’s trial involving Yayasan Akalbudi fund had to be postponed for this reason.
