Zahid: I never used RM6mil political donation for personal benefit


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court here on Monday (Aug 22) that he had never used the RM6mil allegedly received as a political donation from the deputy managing director of Datasonic Group Berhad (DGB) Chew Ben Ben for his personal benefit.

In fact, Ahmad Zahid, 69, said he had never deposited the money received through two cheques into his personal accounts as he had instead handed over the money to the legal firm, Messrs Lewis & Co, the trustee of his Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB).
