Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's lawyer, Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad, accused a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer of attempting to intimidate and tarnish the reputation of Muhyiddin as a lawyer, according to a police report lodged in the ongoing power abuse trial. Amer, who was cross-examining MACC officer Mazery Mohd Zaini, stated that the police report contained false information and named Amer himself, referring to the trial proceedings.
Amer claimed that the MACC officer had received information from the investigating officer in the trial, referring to the officer as Mazery, who was still under oath and scheduled to give evidence in court. Amer called the report an "underhanded tactic" and vowed to take legal action against the officer and the investigating officer for contempt of court.
The alleged classified document referenced in the report was the statement recorded by MACC from Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad during investigations.
