DAP Youth urges AG to review Zahid’s Yayasan Akalbudi case

Youth wing questions the DNAA granted to the Umno president in 2023, and the NFA in January this year, following the deterioration of ties between BN and PH.

DAP Youth urges AG to review Zahid’s Yayasan Akalbudi case

In a recent development, the DAP Youth has called on the attorney-general to reevaluate the Yayasan Akalbudi case involving Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The youth wing argues that the government's anti-corruption efforts should not be applied differently to politicians within Umno. The case, which includes 47 charges of corruption, money laundering, and criminal breach of trust, was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in 2023 to facilitate further investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

However, in January, the case was classified as requiring no further action (NFA). DAP Youth asserts that the AG must uphold transparency and independence in the prosecution system, demonstrating his commitment to safeguarding the administration of justice.
