Elaborate on decision to drop charges against Muhyiddin, AGC told
Several reform groups and a think tank say the Attorney-General’s Chambers has not adequately explained the decision given the seriousness of the charges.
Four charges against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin linked to Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd are under review by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC). Reform groups and a think tank have called for the AGC to provide more detailed reasons for deciding not to proceed with the charges, as their initial explanation was deemed too vague.
The AGC argues that continuing with the charges could compromise its overall strategy and evidentiary case. The groups, which include Projek Sama, Rasuah Busters, C4 Center, Bersih, and the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs, argue that the AGC must disclose the criteria used in deciding to drop or prosecute charges, especially when it pertains to a former head of government.
They also demand that the AGC release guidelines on charging and discontinuance decisions, including the standards for seeking a DNAA (discharge not amounting to an acquittal) or withdrawing charges.
