Zahid prepared to take 'sumpah laknat' to deny Muhyiddin's claim he sought help with court cases


PETALING JAYA: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says he is willing to take the "sumpah laknat" (an oath used by Muslims to swear on the truth of their word) to refute claims he sought help to get corruption charges against him dropped.

He said this after Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin claimed that Ahmad Zahid had appealed for his help in getting the charges dropped when he (Muhyiddin) was prime minister.
