Zahid: It’s political prosecution


KUALA LUMPUR: The graft case involving Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was a political prosecution after the Barisan Nasional coalition was defeated in the 14th General Election in 2018, the High Court heard.

It was not just him as there were more than 20 Barisan leaders who became victims of political prosecution after Pakatan Harapan won and formed the government, Ahmad Zahid said.
