SHAH ALAM: The High Court was told on Thursday (May 12) that Ultra Kirana Sdn Bhd (UKSB) sent letters relating to contract extensions directly to former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to speed up the process.

UKSB director Datuk Fadzil Ahmad said if the letters were handed to subordinates, the company worried that the contract extension process would take a long time."The contract extension process needed to be presented at the ministry level, but the decision is made by the minister , that’s why we at UKSB acted to send the letter to the minister.

On Wednesday , while reading his witness statement, the 41st prosecution witness told the court that the company sent seven letters to Ahmad Zahid between 2016 and 2017 regarding the Foreign Visa System to secure support, conditional application and approval.Zahid trial: Hishammuddin approved UKSB's application to set up visa one-stop centre for seven years, says witness
