The words that cost me RM10 million - Ainie vs Zahid

08 Sep 2025 11:51am

In the latest Top News Podcast, Muda Secretary-General Ainie Haziqah Shafii opens up about the legal battle she faces after receiving a letter of demand from Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

She was accused of defaming him by referring to him as 'a corrupt' and citing the 47 corruption charges linked to the Yayasan Akalbudi case.

She stresses that her remarks are not just personal but echo the voices of the public who follow the high-profile case closely.

Watch the full conversation exclusively on Sinar Daily’s Top News Podcast.
