KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

DPM's wealth in focus

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he had doubts about then Umno Youth chief Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's source of wealth when he allegedly declared he had RM230 million but there was no evidence to suggest anything untoward.

Zahid, who was in Parliament for a function was mobbed by journalists about the claim but ignored them and walked away.

Mahathir had also alleged Zahid sought his support to replace Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. The salvos came after Zahid questioned Mahathir's Malay-ness and raised his Indian ancestry.

Umno's Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin came to Zahid's defence, accusing Mahathir of political manoeuvring to drive a wedge in Umno.

Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed also defended his boss, stating that Zahid's claim that Mahathir's name was "Mahathir a/l Iskandar Kutty" was accurate.

DAP's Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching's emergency motion for Zahid to explain his alleged leaking of Mahathir's details in violation of the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 was rejected by Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia.

Pandikar taken to court over 1MDB questions

PKR's Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian took Pandikar to court over his refusal to allow 1MDB-related questions in Parliament.

Pandikar expressed his unhappiness about the move and pointed out that the Dewan Rakyat standing order does not allow parliamentary procedures to be questioned in any court.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali in a legal letter to inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar asked the police to extradite Penang businessperson Jho Low, a central figure in the 1MDB scandal, failing which a court action will be initiated.

Pakatan Harapan in a joint statement comprising the four component parties said 1MDB's failure to meet its payment to International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) was evidence that there had been misappropriation.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said 1MDB missing the deadline was a technical matter and that it will be able to pay up.
