Bekas perdana menteri Muhyiddin Yassin berkata beliau lega selepas dibebaskan daripada empat pertuduhan berkait Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd.

Muhyiddin harap baki pertuduhan turut digugurkan

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin expressed hope that the remaining charges against him would also be dismissed following his release from three corruption cases and one misuse of power charge. Speaking outside the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, Muhyiddin stated that he had always maintained his innocence. "Alhamdulillah, I am grateful and relieved.

As I said before, I have done nothing wrong," he added. Muhyiddin expressed hope that the other charges would also be dropped. Earlier, High Court Judge Noor Ruwena Nurdin discharged Muhyiddin from the three corruption charges and one misuse of power charge after Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib requested his discharge without fine.

The three corruption charges involved receiving RM200 million from Bukhary Equity, while the misuse of power charge required Muhyiddin to request the same amount from the relevant company. The prosecution is now nearly complete on Muhyiddin for three more misuse of power charges related to the Jana Wibawa program. In that case, he was accused of misusing his position to request RM25.3 million from Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, and his own office director, Azman Yusoff.
