He is facing 40 charges of receiving bribes for his involvement in the overseas visa (HLN) system.

The Shah Alam Sessions Court was told today that 40 charges of receiving bribes involving the overseas visa system faced by former Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will be filed by the prosecution for hearing at the High Court.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Gan Peng Kun also informed the court that he needed time as there were more than 500 documents being prepared to be handed over to the defence.Earlier, Gan told the court the prosecution had withdrawn its application to transfer 33 charges of bribery faced by Ahmad Zahid to be heard at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.

However, on Aug 28, the Kuala Lumpur High Court rejected the application for review as it did not find anything wrong in the order to transfer the case to the Shah Alam Sessions Court made by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court under Section 104 of the Subordinate Courts Act 1948. Ahmad Zahid was charged with committing the offence at Seri Satria, Presint 16, Putrajaya between March 28, 2017, and March 2, 2018.

On 26 of the charges, the Umno president was charged with accepting bribes from Syarikat Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd amounting to S$9,320,000 as incentive for him as a public servant, as Home Minister in the Malaysian Home Ministry, to extend the company’s contract as operator of the OSC service in China and the VLN system, and to retain the contract agreement for the same company to supply the VLN integrated system to the ministry.
