After hearing submissions by both defence and prosecution on Friday , Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah said performing the umrah, although highly recommended during the fasting month, was not compulsory.
Earlier, Ahmad Zahid's lawyer Hisyam Teh Poh Teik submitted that his client had to travel to Saudi Arabia between May 9 and June 3 to perform the umrah. Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, another lawyer representing Ahmad Zahid, said his client had never failed to perform umrah every year for the past 30 years, especially during the month of Ramadhan.
However, the dates had been vacated for the trial of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is facing 25 corruption and money laundering charges involving RM2.28bil of 1MDB funds, which was scheduled to commence from Aug 19 until mid-November.
Now you got a taste of being stopped from leaving the country. You are under investigation and trial, just stay! Why you need to perform umrah every year? There are many Muslims who wish to perform umrah for the first time in their lives.
