Foundation funds belonged to me, Zahid tells court

KUALA LUMPUR: The tens of millions of ringgit in the Yayasan Akalbudi foundation allegedly misused by its founder Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi belonged to him, he told the High Court.

Making his defence against 47 charges involving breach of trust, corruption and money laundering at his trial, the former deputy prime minister told the court that not a single sen of the funds came from the government or the people.
