KUALA LUMPUR (June 17): UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has said his meeting with former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on June 7, 2018 concerned UMNO and not purportedly his criminal case. The UMNO president in his reply to Dr Mahathir's defence said he met the former statesman at Yayasan Kepimpinan Perdana during the month of Ramadan. "[Dr] Mahathir wanted me, as UMNO president, to disband UMNO and for all UMNO members of parliament (MPs) and assemblymen to join Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia. At the meeting, Dr Mahathir once again wanted me to disband UMNO and for UMNO MPs and assemblymen to join Bersatu. The hearing of the injunction application sought by Ahmad Zahid against Dr Mahathir has been fixed for July 6.
