Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi arrives at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex in a black Totoya Vellfire.

He comes alone, wearing a light blue shirt and a black suit.

The former deputy prime minister then gives his trademark smile and waves at the reporters.

Asked if he is there to support former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, Zahid replies: "Of course, I'm here to extend my moral support."

Najib is back in court, and today he will be charged together with former Treasury secretary-general Irwan Serigar Abdullah.

The duo is expected to be charged over 1MDB's payments to Abu Dhabi-based International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), which were allegedly linked to money from Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) and a pension fund.
