“Zahid’s 360-degree turn on the judiciary shows that UMNO is all about saving himself

[superadmin]

I respect the decision of the Shah Alam High Court in dismissing the 40 corruption charges relating to the foreign visa system (FVS) against UMNO president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

However, Zahid has other corruption charges pending against him, and he might be exonerated or found guilty in those cases.

It is not that he is completely free to roam the corridors of power; while the judge dismissed the charges against Zahid for not having a prima facie value, the fact remains that the attorney-general can still appeal the decision by carefully and meticulously studying the case.

The dismissal could have been on technical grounds or even on a substantive basis.

It was established by the High Court that the money trail to Zahid could not be conclusively proved as the witnesses in the case were not reliable nor was credibility attached to the forms in which the money was delivered to the accused.
