PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who will be facing 45 charges in court will be the second top-level leader from Umno to face legal battle since the May 9 general election. Both Dr Ahmad Zahid, the former deputy prime minister, and Najib had separately turned up at the MACC headquarters yesterday. However, while Dr Ahmad Zahid was arrested, Najib was only questioned and later left. Sources familiar with the investigation of alleged misappropriation of Yayasan Akal Budi funds said Dr Ahmad Zahid “has a lot of char­ges to answer”. He left some 90 minutes before Dr Ahmad Zahid was scheduled to arrive.
