Pegawai SPRM mohon maaf kepada peguam Muhyiddin berhubung laporan polis

In a hearing at the High Court, a prosecution witness has apologized to former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, for filing a police report against him. Mazery Zaini, a 42-year-old employee of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM), made the report following Amer's presentation of a document containing a transcript of a conversation with former Bersatu Segambut deputy leader Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad.

Mazery informed the court that he filed the report due to concerns that the relevant document might be leaked by a SPRM employee. He emphasized that his intention was to protect the image of the enforcement agency, not tarnish it. However, Amer claimed the report was an attempt to tarnish his reputation and create false information, alleging it was a form of harassment.

Amer insisted he would not rule out filing a report against investigators, including police officers, as false reporting, defaming the court, and taking any unlawful action were possible responses. The prosecution plans to withdraw the police report after the court hears explanations from both sides today, and the defense will continue its examination of Mazery.
