KUALA LUMPUR: Three MPs from Umno defected to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia after the 14th General Election (GE14) to "save themselves" from being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the High Court here heard.
Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, testifying in his corruption trial on Tuesday (June 28), said the three MPs were among those who won in GE14.
