AG must publicly explain why Zahid granted DNAA

[superadmin]

From Ibrahim M Ahmad

This week’s news cycle began with a jolt after the High Court granted deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in a case which called for him to answer 47 corruption charges involving substantial funds belonging to his charitable foundation, Yayasan Akalbudi.

What that means is that the case is now somehow suspended indefinitely, capable of being revived, but probably unlikely to be.

Instead, from here on we can expect Zahid’s lawyers to relentlessly pursue the full acquittal he was denied in court on Monday.
