Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confessed today he flew to Saudi Arabia for his haj in a private jet but says his friend owns it.
The defence minister was responding to allegations he owned the aircraft.
Several bloggers had accused him of graft, questioning how he could afford a jet on his government income.
Ahmad Zahid (picture) is the second member of the Cabinet to come under public scrutiny in recent weeks following the Auditor-General’s report last month.
