Zahid’s corruption trial postponed next year

Former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s corruption trial involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds has been postponed to January next year, pending an appeal over a ruling in relation to witnesses’ statements.

High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah vacated the hearing today and tomorrow as well as on Nov 9 and 10 after Zahid’s lead counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik applied to postpone the trial.
