  "summary": "The prosecution has closed its case against former Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin after calling 29 witnesses in connection with charges of using his position to obtain bribes. Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin informed the court that six prosecution witnesses would be made available should Muhyiddin choose to enter his defence. The trial, which began on March 9, heard testimony from various witnesses, including former Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz and Muhyiddin's former private secretary, Marzuki. The court has set November 25 for the prosecution and defence to file their written submissions, with the prosecution's oral submissions scheduled for November 26 and the defence's oral submissions from December 1 to 3. Muhyiddin, 79, faces three charges of obtaining RM25.3 million in bribes for the party from three companies and Azman Yusoff in connection with the Jana Wibawa project.",
