Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says instead, authorities will take targeted measures.

DS Zahid Hamidi ordered to enter his defence

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has been ordered to enter his defence on 47 charges of corruption, money laundering, and criminal breach of trust involving his charity foundation.

This, after the KL High Court ruled that the prosecution had established prima facie against the UMNO president.

Zahid was given three options to conduct his defence, namely, to give a sworn statement in the witness stand, give a statement from the dock, or remain silent.

His lawyer says the former DPM will give a sworn statement.
