A-G: Muhyiddin still faces three Jana Wibawa charges
KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar has stressed that the three charges against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin linked to the Jana Wibawa programme are still being pursued in court.
KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar clarified that the three charges against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in connection with the Jana Wibawa programme remain in court. Dusuki explained that the decision not to pursue four charges involving Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd was unrelated to the Jana Wibawa charges.
The confusion arises from calls for transparency regarding the High Court's decision to grant Muhyiddin a discharge amounting to an acquittal (DAA) instead of a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on the four charges. The A-G's Chambers explained that the decision was based on a professional assessment of the evidence and the overall interests of the prosecution.
Muhyiddin still faces three charges under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 for using his position to obtain RM25.3 million in gratification for various entities during the Jana Wibawa projects.
