Enough personal money to settle credit card bills, no need to use foundation's funds, says Ahmad Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court here Wednesday (May 25) that the monthly balances in his personal bank account were sufficient to settle his credit card bills without requiring him to use funds from Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB).

Ahmad Zahid, 69, said it was his former executive secretary Major Mazlina Mazlan @ Ramly who negligently used cheques from the foundation to pay for his personal credit card expenditures.
