KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court was told on Thursday (Sept 9) that millions of ringgit that went to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) were donations, and not derived from unlawful activities.

Lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, who is representing Ahmad Zahid, said the prosecution had not produced any evidence to show the proceeds were from unlawful activities, or that there were commissions of one or more of the serious offences, or conduct by the accused that could lead or led to the commission of any of the serious offences.
