KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 8): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has summoned Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for questioning at its headquarters in Putrajaya on Wednesday (Oct 10), according to Malaysiakini.
Malaysiakini learnt that the former deputy prime minister has been asked to turn up at 10am for his third session with the anti-graft agency since the May 9 general election.
The report said in July, Ahmad Zahid was questioned twice by the MACC on two matters — the use of funds from welfare foundation Yayasan Akal Budi to clear credit card debts and his claim that he met representatives of the Saudi royal family member who purportedly channelled RM2.6 billion into former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal bank accounts.
Investigators, including the US Department of Justice, have alleged that the RM2.6 billion originated from 1MDB.
Malaysiakini also reported that Umno supreme council member Lokman Noor Adam has in an Instagram posting called for a gathering outside the MACC headquarters to support Ahmad Zahid.
Last week, Lokman had warned that Ahmad Zahid might face court charges similar to Najib and the former premier's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. — theedgemarkets.com
