The Court of Appeal today allowed deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to keep his personal and diplomatic passports with him permanently.

PUTRAJAYA: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is facing 47 corruption charges in the Kuala Lumpur High Court, can now travel overseas without the court’s permission.

This follows the Court of Appeal’s ruling today allowing the Umno president to keep his personal and diplomatic passports with him permanently.

A three-member bench chaired by Justice Hanipah Farikullah allowed Zahid’s application after the court said it was satisfied that it had jurisdiction to hear the matter.



“The application for the passports to be released to him is allowed,” she said.

Deputy public prosecutor Abdul Malik Ayob told the bench he had instructions not to object to the application.

Zahid’s lead counsel, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, later told reporters today’s ruling meant his client no longer needs to get the High Court’s permission to leave the country.

Zahid made a fresh application on Feb 13 after trial judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah refused to vary the conditions of his bail to allow him possession of his travel documents.



In the application, Zahid, who is also the rural and regional development minister, said the passports should be returned to him due to a change in circumstances after the 15th general election last November.

Court denies Zahid’s request for permanent passport access
