PAS rep ‘ignorant’ of DAP’s stand on Zahid’s case, says Ramkarpal
The DAP MP points out the instances his party had urged the AGC to explain its decisions on the Umno president’s Yayasan Akalbudi case.
DAP MP Ramkarpal Singh criticised a PAS Kedah assemblyman for being 'ignorant and erroneous' about DAP's stance on the charges faced by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The PAS representative, Mardhiyyah Johari, questioned the timing of DAP's urging the attorney-general to review the 47 charges against Zahid. Ramkarpal emphasized that DAP had raised serious concerns immediately after the High Court granted Zahid a DNAA in September 2023.
He pointed out that DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook had made a statement the next day, stressing the party's commitment to the separation of powers and calling for the AG to explain his decision. Ramkarpal further mentioned that DAP had urged the Attorney-General's Chambers to clarify why it chose not to take further action against Zahid, as stated in a January 7 statement.
He also highlighted that he had asked the AGC on January 8 why it suddenly changed its view on Zahid's case, considering the High Court's prima facie findings against him. Ramkarpal declared that the party would continue questioning the AG's decision in Zahid's case, as it seemed illogical, particularly in light of the High Court's findings.
