KUALA LUMPUR: A witness "singlehandedly buried" the prosecution's case against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi by testifying that the RM6mil he gave was meant for charitable and political donations, the High Court heard.

Lawyer Hamidi Mohd Noh, representing Ahmad Zahid in a corruption trial involving millions from charitable foundation Yayasan Akalbudi, said 34th prosecution witness Chew Ben Ben had testified that he did not bribe or reward the accused for Datasonic Technologies Sdn Bhd (DTSB) getting a contract.
