  "account": "The PAS representative from Kedah, Mardhiyyah Johari, has labeled the DAP's call for former Umno President Zahid Hamidi to face a fresh investigation by the Attorney General (AG) as hypocrisy. In Kota Bharu, Johari stated that the issue was not raised when DAP and Pakatan Harapan (PH) needed Umno's support to form a government in Putrajaya. She added that the current move is not a reform but a display of hypocrisy.\n\nMeanwhile, Jelutong MP Rayer urged the AG to re-examine 47 corruption allegations against Zahid, related to the Akalbudi Foundation, which were previously dismissed and Zahid was subsequently acquitted. The opposition party argued that the agenda for a corruption-free government should not exempt politicians from scrutiny, and equal standards should apply uniformly.\n\nIn 2023, the court dismissed and released Zahid from the 47 charges, including fraud, converting unlawful funds, and breach of trust involving the Akalbudi Foundation. However, in January of this year, the case against Zahid was classified as Not For Action (NFA).",
