DPP takes swipe at Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the graft trial of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi took a swipe at the Umno president and his wife over their spending habits, questioning whether the couple had thought of the poor in the country as they spent money on luxury goods.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran said a quick glance through the monthly credit card statements would show an extensive use of either one or all of the cards at any one time for purchases at high-street stores around the world and locally by Ahmad Zahid and his wife Datin Seri Hamidah Khamis.
