Dr M says Zahid's committal action for contempt ill-intentioned, abuse of court process


KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed has hit back at the committal proceedings for contempt of court initiated by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi against him, saying that it was done with bad intention.

In an affidavit he filed on Feb 3, the nonagenarian said the committal action was ill-intentioned to put pressure on him and to give negative perception to the public that Ahmad Zahid had supposedly proved his case against Dr Mahathir.
