MACC officer apologises to Muhyiddin’s lawyer over police report
The report, lodged against lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad, will be retracted today.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, received an apology from a prosecution witness in his corruption trial. Mazery Zaini, a 42-year-old Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer, filed a police report after Amer presented a transcript of a recorded conversation involving former Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad.
Mazery admitted to lodging the report due to concerns about possible leaks by MACC officers, stating he did not aim to harm Amer's reputation or the defence team. However, Amer claimed the report was an attempt to tarnish his image and intimidate him, threatening further legal action against the officer if necessary. The police report will be retracted following the court's consideration of explanations from both parties.
