Perjelas keputusan gugur tuduhan terhadap Muhyiddin, AGC diberitahu
Beberapa kumpulan reformasi dan badan pemikir berkata, Pejabat Peguam Negara tidak memberi penjelasan wajar memandangkan tuduhan berkenaan adalah serius.
The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has informed that it will no longer pursue four charges against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin regarding Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd. The reform group and think tank have urged the AGC to provide specific and substantive reasons for its decision, as the explanation provided earlier was considered too general given the seriousness of the allegations.
The AGC's decision to not move forward with the charges against Muhyiddin is surprising, as previously, no detailed explanation was given, especially considering the gravity of the charges. Notably, the AGC has not clarified why the outcome has changed since October 2025, when it rejected Muhyiddin's request to drop the charges.
According to a joint statement from Reform Project, Rasuah Busters, C4 Center, Bersih, and the Institute for Democracy and Economics, the AGC should specifically and substantively explain the basis for not pursuing the four charges involving Bukhary Equity. On Tuesday, the AGC stated that the decision was based on a professional assessment of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses, as well as the overall interests of the case.
The AGC also emphasized that the prosecution's role is not to maintain any charge under any circumstances, but rather to ensure that only charges with sufficient evidence and defensible in court are pursued. The reform group demanded that the AGC disclose its guidelines for deciding whether to pursue prosecution or dismiss a case, including the criteria applied when a prosecutor files a DNAA (Dismiss Without Notice of Appearance).
They argued that the practice of operating prosecutions for decades without a formal framework for evaluating each case separately is no longer appropriate, especially when dealing with charges against a former head of government. High Court Justice Noor Ruwena Nurdin dismissed Muhyiddin from three charges of misappropriation of funds and one charge of abuse of power after Deputy Prosecutor General Ahmad Akram Gharib filed for a DNAA.
The three charges of misappropriation involved Muhyiddin receiving RM200 million from Bukhary Equity, while the abuse of power charge related to requesting the same amount from the company in question.
