  "account": "Pemuda DAP, a wing of the opposition party, has demanded that the Attorney General (AG) re-examine the Yayasan Akalbudi case involving Umno President Zahid Hamidi, following a preliminary clearance (DNAA) that was granted earlier. The controversy has sparked concerns about the government's agenda not prioritizing fairness towards political figures, and the AG must uphold impartiality while managing public concerns over judicial independence.\n\nZahid Hamidi, who is also deputy prime minister, was given DNAA for 47 charges, including bribery, embezzlement, and breach of trust in the Yayasan Akalbudi case, in 2023. The AG issued DNAA to allow the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to conduct further investigation.\n\nThe AG's decision to grant DNAA to Zahid enabled the case to enter the defence phase, with Zahid and 14 other defense witnesses having given statements. The case was subsequently classified as not requiring further action (NFA) in January this year.\n\nPemuda DAP's demand comes amid deteriorating relations between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN), with Zahid at the helm. The two factions formed a coalition for the PRN Nine states election, securing a two-thirds majority in the state legislature.",
