The High Court in Kuala Lumpur heard on Monday (Dec 9) that Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, testifying in a defamation suit brought by his father, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, recounted receiving a warm welcome in Bangladesh and Pakistan due to beliefs about his father’s ancestry.

The suit concerns Ahmad Zahid’s alleged use of the name “Kutty” to describe Dr Mahathir, which Mukhriz claimed had political repercussions for Bersatu, the party he co-founded, affecting its performance in the 2018 general election.
