Muhyiddin hopes remaining charges will be dropped
Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin says he is relieved after being acquitted of four charges linked to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd.
Former Malaysian prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin expressed hope that the remaining charges against him would be dropped, following his acquittal on three money laundering charges and one abuse of power charge. The charges stemmed from allegations of obtaining RM232.5 million in bribes and laundering RM200 million through Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd.
Speaking at Kuala Lumpur High Court, Muhyiddin maintained his innocence, thanking God for the acquittal and expressing relief. Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib sought a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on the money laundering charges, leading to the judge's decision. Muhyiddin also faces three other abuse of power charges, involving a RM25.3 million bribe from Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, and Azman Yusoff. The prosecution is nearing completion of its case in this matter.
