Why didn’t DAP question Zahid’s case in 2022, says PAS delegate
Mardhiyyah Johari says the issue was not raised when DAP and PH needed Umno’s support to form the federal government after the 2022 general election.
Kota Bharu, Malaysia - A PAS delegate has criticized the DAP for its silence regarding the legal case against Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in 2022. Mardhiyyah Johari, from Kedah PAS, stated that the issue was not raised during the coalition's efforts to form the federal government with Umno's support after the 2022 general election.
She expressed her disappointment at the DAP's current insistence on reviewing the case, which involved 47 charges of corruption, money laundering, and criminal breach of trust. Zahid Hamidi, also serving as deputy prime minister, received a discharge not amounting to an acquittal in 2023 following the defense stage, where he and 14 other witnesses testified.
The case was officially closed in January 2024 as "no further action" by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, allowing the agency to investigate further into the charitable foundation Zahid established in 1997.
