Zahid goes to court for permanent return of passport

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wants the Court of Appeal to review the High Court’s decision that dismissed his application to obtain his passport, which he said was for him to carry out his official duties as the Deputy Prime Minister.

In his notice of motion filed on Feb 13, Ahmad Zahid said the High Court’s dismissal would prejudice his rights and responsibilities as he would have to officially apply to get access to his passport each time he needed to leave the country for official work.
