Gobind asks AG to explain decision to drop 4 Muhyiddin charges
DAP chairman says the attorney-general must explain why prosecutors sought a DNAA for four charges against Muhyiddin Yassin when the trial was nearing its end.
DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo has requested Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar to provide an explanation for discontinuing four charges against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. The charges were related to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd and included money laundering and abuse of power. Gobind emphasized the importance of transparency and the potential erosion of confidence in the attorney-general and the criminal justice system if high-profile prosecutions are abruptly halted without a clear justification.
The digital minister stressed that the public has the right to know the specific reasons behind the decision to drop the charges, as the trial was of significant public interest and nearing completion. Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib informed the Kuala Lumpur High Court that the prosecution had decided not to proceed with the charges after evaluating the case's circumstances.
However, High Court Justice Noor Ruwena Nurdin acquitted Muhyiddin without providing a specific reason for the decision.
