Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was summoned to the KL High Court this afternoon, over the postponement of his corruption trial. 

Earlier, Zahid was allowed to have his trial deferred, as he said he had to meet with new Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, over cabinet appointments. 

The PM's office later revealed that Muhyiddin was only scheduled to meet with department heads and the government's Chief Secretary today, and NOT political leaders.

Meanwhile according to The Star, an aide to Zahid said that the UMNO president did have a brief meeting with Muhyiddin today.. but it was not an official one.
