SHAH ALAM: The High Court heard that Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) was just following the orders of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to extend the contract of Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) as the sole operator of the Foreign Visa System (VLN) to Malaysia in China.

Former Home Ministry deputy secretary-general (Policy and Control) Datuk Suriani Ahmad said this was based on the minutes jotted down by Najib dated May 23, 2013, and sent to Ahmad Zahid, which stated “projek ini perlu diteruskan” (this project needs to be continued).
