KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 — Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin has today urged the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) to re-examine all court charges against leaders affiliated with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and Perikatan National (PN).

The Opposition Leader asserted that a thorough review is necessary in order to ensure justice and fairness in these legal proceedings and urged the AGC to drop all charges — calling them selective prosecution and an abuse of the justice system.

“Based on the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision today I'm urging the AGC to review the charges against Bersatu and PN leaders for the purpose of withdrawing them.

“The Court said the charges were baseless and did not conform with the criminal procedure code and was an abuse of the court process,” he said in a statement here.

Hamzah was referring to the Kuala Lumpur High Court's earlier decision to drop four charges against PN's chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for lack of any offence details.

Hamzah has previously raised concerns regarding what he perceives as politically motivated charges. He strongly believes that the current government has fabricated false charges with the intention of persecuting Bersatu and PN leaders.

Hamzah has previously initiated legal proceedings against both the Malaysian government and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

His call to withdraw these charges is rooted in the belief that they lack factual basis and have been crafted to tarnish the reputations of these leaders.

The court's verdict has emboldened Hamzah's stance, as he contends that this ruling serves as compelling evidence that the charges against other leaders are inherently biased.

The court's ruling was detailed by High Court Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin, who declared that the charges against Muhyiddin, which accused him of leveraging his position to secure gratification amounting to RM232.5 million for Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, failed to adequately disclose the specifics of the alleged offences.

While these recent developments have led to the dismissal of four charges against Muhyiddin, it is noteworthy that he still faces three remaining criminal charges under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.

The AGC later confirmed it will be appealing against the High Court's decision to discharge Muhyiddin.
