Ahmad Zahid, 70, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, is facing 47 charges, namely 12 on criminal breach of trust, eight on corruption and 27 on money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit belonging to Yayasan Akalbudi

The government remains committed to implementing policies that can bolster the nation’s economic growth and competitiveness to attract funds that will strengthen the international reserves and the ringgit.

The ringgit retreated from two consecutive days of gains to open lower against the US dollar on Thursday, amidst softening data points, said an economist.

Malaysian International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim said that several investment companies had lured the public by offering investment schemes promising them lucrative dividend rates and returns.
