No evidence of wrongdoing


KUALA LUMPUR: There is no evidence of wrongdoing by Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi involving Yayasan Akalbudi as witnesses have testified in the High Court that the millions of ringgit they gave was for charity and political donation purposes, the former deputy prime minister’s lawyer has argued.

Lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik said the four witnesses – Junaith Asharab Md Shariff, Datuk Abu Hanifah Noordin, Chew Ben Ben, and Azlan Shah Jaffril – were crucial to eight charges (Charges 11- 18) against Ahmad Zahid, yet none of them testified that the money was corruptly given to Ahmad Zahid.
