‘I had enough money in the bank to settle credit card bills’


KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said 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, told the High Court that 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.
