Opposition MPs call for answers on Zahid’s acquittal

PETALING JAYA: . However, another MP urged the attorney-general to file an appeal against the High Court decision. Zahid, 69, was acquitted this morning of 40 charges of receiving bribes from a company to extend its foreign visa system contract. High Court judge Yazid Mustafa ruled that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against Zahid, who was deputy prime minister and home minister at the time.

“One cannot help but wonder what made the judge draw a comparison between the attention to detail that the two different prosecution teams gave with their respective cases.“In the meantime, we should all read the full judgment when it is made available to fully understand this decision,” said Fahmi, who is MP for Lembah Pantai. Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim of PKR hoped that the AG would file an appeal against the decision.
