KUALA LUMPUR: In two years, former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his wife spent almost RM1.3 million around the world, including for shopping.

The expenditure involved four Ambank credit cards with a combined credit limit of RM250,000, the High Court heard today.

The credit cards were utilised by the couple between Jan 2014 and Jan 2016 in Malaysia and abroad including at luxury fashion outlets in the United States (USA), Italy, South Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Ukraine and the United Kingdom (UK).
