Five meetings with Dr M were not to gain favours on court cases, says Ahmad Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) has claimed that the five meetings he had with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad between 2018 and 2020 were to discuss the political turmoil in the country and not to gain favours regarding the Umno president's court cases.

Ahmad Zahid said this in his reply to Dr Mahathir's statement of defence in a lawsuit he initiated against the former prime minister over alleged defamatory remarks Dr Mahathir made at a Pejuang event.
