Azmin: I was merely questioning why Deepak was on the plane

KUALA LUMPUR: Former international trade and industry minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali told the High Court that he mentioned Deepak Jaikishan’s name in his speech because of the businessman’s photo with a current minister on a plane.

Mohamed Azmin, who was testifying at the High Court in a defamation lawsuit against him by egg importer company J&E Advance Tech Sdn Bhd (J&E), said that the photo was of Deepak together with Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu on a flight to India.
