KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has withdrawn his appeal against a High Court's dismissal over his application to challenge the constitutionality of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and Anti-Money Laundering Act in relation to the admissibility of documentary evidence pertaining to charges framed against him.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi said the prosecution had no objection on the matter.The other judges on the bench were P. Ravinthran and Datuk Nordin Hassan. On Nov 18 last year, High Court Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah dismissed the former prime minister's application to challenge the constitutionality of the MACC Act 2009 and Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 ruling that Ahmad Zahid’s application was premature as the trial has yet to commence.
