Case against Zahid buried, says lawyer


KUALA LUMPUR: A witness had “single-handedly” buried the prosecution’s case against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) when he testified that the RM6mil he gave was meant for charity and was a political donation, the High Court was told.

Lawyer Hamidi Mohd Noh, who is representing Ahmad Zahid in the corruption trial involving millions from Yayasan Akalbudi, said 34th prosecution witness Chew Ben Ben (SP34) had testified that he did not bribe or reward the accused for Datasonic Technologies Sdn Bhd (DTSB) to be given a contract.
