Ahmad Zahid's immunity claim is absurd, says prosecutor


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is not entitled to immunity as claimed by his defence in his corruption trial, the High Court heard.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran said the defence had given a literal interpretation to Section 30(7) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 to give all persons who disclose information to the MACC exemption from prosecution regardless of the outcome of the investigation.
