Najib’s minutes to Zahid on foreign visa system contract extension not an order, court told

SHAH ALAM: The minutes of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the contract of Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) to be extended as the sole operator of the Foreign Visa System (VLN) to Malaysia in China was not an order, the High Court was told.
