[KiniNews] Opposition lawmakers were up in arms after the Johor Bahru High Court denied Sam Ke Ting's request for a stay of execution pending an appeal.

The High Court ruled that Sam, who was convicted today of reckless driving resulting in the death of eight teenagers, must obtain leave from the Court of Appeal first before seeking a stay of execution.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he founded Yayasan Akalbudi in 1997 for the sake of charity and religion as at the time he was using about three-quarters of his monthly corporate salary of RM120,000 for such purposes anyway.

He said this in his witness statement today in the court hearing of his 47 charges involving criminal breach of trust (CBT), corruption and money laundering in relation to Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
