Pemuda Bersatu persoal Gobind gesa AG jelaskan pembebasan Muhyiddin

Pemuda Bersatu questioned DAP Chairman Gobind Singh Deo's decision not to continue four lawsuits against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Harris Idaham Rashid, Pemuda Bersatu's Head of Public Relations, asked Gobind to explain if he previously demanded an open explanation from the Attorney General during the 2018 case involving Lim Guan Eng's dismissal.

He referred to the High Court of Penang's decision to release Lim and businessman Phang Li Koon after the prosecution decided not to continue the property purchase case in Jalan Pinhorn at below market price. "Is individual and party principle different?" Haris asked in the statement. Yesterday, Gobind called on Attorney General Dusuki Mokhtar to provide detailed explanations regarding the decision not to continue four lawsuits against Muhyiddin related to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd.

Gobind stated that the decision is crucial because the high-profile case is nearing its end, but the prosecution is seeking a non-bail (DNAA) order. The High Court in Kuala Lumpur released and freed Muhyiddin from three charges of misappropriation of funds and one charge of abusing power related to Bukhary Equity after the prosecution decided not to continue the case.

The Attorney General's Department said the decision not to continue the lawsuit was made based on a professional assessment of the evidence, evidence credibility, and the overall interests of the prosecution, including the risk of undermining the strategy and the prosecution of other cases Muhyiddin is facing. Muhyiddin still faces three charges related to the Janaj Wibawa program, including an allegation of requesting a RM25.3 million loan from several companies and an officer's assistant.
