: The High Court here today set June 27 to decide on a leave application filed by the Malaysian Bar to challenge the Attorney-General’s decision to halt proceedings against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid HamidiJudge Datuk Amarjeet Singh also fixed the same date to decide on Bar’s application to refer three constitutional questions over the same matter to the Federal Court for determination.
On Sept 4, the High Court granted Ahmad Zahid a DNAA for 47 charges related to criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds, after the prosecution informed that the Attorney-General’s Chambers wanted to halt the proceedings against Ahmad Zahid to scrutinise new evidence.
“It pertains to charges brought against an individual who previously held public office and against whom charges were dropped upon their reappointment to public office ,“ she said. Meanwhile, senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan, representing the AG countered that the Bar had failed to prove that the AG’s decision was indeed tainted with illegality, nor did they back up their contentions with compelling evidence.
