KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 22): Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi s criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering trial has been postponed as he came in close contact with fellow Supreme Council member Datuk Johan Abdul Aziz, who is now confirmed positive for Covid-19.
Zahid was with Johan and other Umno Supreme Council members at a party retreat in Janda Baik, Bentong, Pahang.
Lawyer Hamidi Mohd Noh informed the court that his client had chaired two meetings, one at 3pm last Friday and a second one at 8pm that same night where Johan was present.
“We got to know from media reports that Johan has been tested positive with Covid-19 when he went for testing on Saturday and the results were known yesterday. So my client has to be in quarantine for 10 days as he was in close contact,” he said.
