PETALING JAYA: A brief exchange of words erupted in Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s (pix) corruption trial when the Umno president became upset after he was bombarded with multiple questions by the prosecution today, NST reports.
The former Home Minister reportedly became upset after Deputy Public Prosecutor Abdul Malik Ayob reportedly pressed him on the RM2 million that he received in three cheques from Profound Radiance Sdn Bhd director Azlan Shah Jaffril.
Abdul Malik questioned why RM2 million which was purported as political donation was credited into Lewis & Co. bank account as the trustee for Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) owned by the accused.
The prosecutor also asked Zahid to explain how the Home Ministry decided to appoint Profound Radiance to manage the One Stop Centre (OSC) work permit processing system for Pakistani and Nepali workers.
Zahid, who was upset with the line of questions, then told the High Court judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah that he hoped Abdul Malik could become a minister to understand how the ministry works.
