Zahid: I didn’t use the RM6mil


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the High Court that he never used the RM6mil allegedly received as a political donation from Datasonic Group Bhd deputy managing director Chew Ben Ben for his personal benefit.

The former deputy prime minister said he had never deposited the money received through two cheques into his personal accounts as he had handed it over to the legal firm, Messrs Lewis & Co, the trustee of his charity foundation Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB).
