KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Electoral watchdog Bersih has today called on the Attorney General’s Chambers to review Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s discharge not amounting to an acquittal from all 47 charges in his Yayasan Akalbudi trial and recharge him if necessary.
“If there is no plan for new charges, then this might be amounting to providing an escape route for Zahid to apply for full acquittal within months,” it said in a statement here. “As it stands now, the attorney general is a political appointee advising the government who plays the duo role of the public prosecutor who holds the power to initiate or drop criminal charges.
The prosecution applied for a DNAA based on at least 11 reasons including to enable more comprehensive and complete investigations to be carried out on Zahid’s case, while Zahid’s lead defence lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik had argued that Zahid should be fully acquitted without the possibility of being charged with the same charges hanging over his head.
