KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was granted leave by the High Court here on Tuesday (Jan 7) to commence contempt proceedings against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The proceedings relate to Dr Mahathir's holding a press conference on Dec 5 last year in the lobby of the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex. During the conference, he displayed several copies of documents, including his identity card, after giving testimony in his lawsuit against Ahmad Zahid regarding the “kutty” issue.
