Shahrir acquitted but saddened by court case

KUALA LUMPUR: The acquittal of Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad by the High Court has given him vindication but the Umno veteran said he was still sad over the episode.

“Today, my name and Umno have been cleared but I am sad because this case has the impression to the people that I am an MP and an Umno leader who is without integrity,” he told the press after proceedings ended yesterday.
