All shook up by Umno bombshell


POWER attracts people and there was a big entourage from Umno to send off Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi when he flew off on Tuesday to perform the umrah.

The final 10 days of Ramadan are special for Muslims and Ahmad Zahid has often spent the period in Mecca. The courts released his passport last month and this is his first overseas trip since his legal troubles began in 2018.
