KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Parliament can actually debate Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s release from the Yayasan Akalbudi trial through a court order for the latter’s discharge without amounting to an acquittal of all 47 charges, federal opposition Perikatan Nasional has said.
“Here it is clear that the Prime Minister has made a statement that exceeds his jurisdiction and role as council head which preempts the decision that should be made by the Dewan Rakyat speaker,” Takiyuddin said in a statement issued close to midnight. He added that it was increasingly necessary and pressing for Zahid’s case to be debated in Parliament since it impacts not only the legal and judicial institutions, but also the image and integrity of both the government and the country in the eyes of Malaysians and the international community.
“PN truly believes that based on the non-positive situation existing within society about this issue, therefore the prosecution’s decision which led to the DNAA order has to be scrutinised and inspected by Parliament as it is closely related with the issue of integrity and confidence towards not just the Attorney General’s Chambers, but PN also imagines the high probability of interference by the government itself in this case,” Takiyuddin claimed.
Anwar reportedly said Zahid’s DNAA cannot be debated in a special Parliament sitting, and said the government has no objections to questions being raised about the case during normal sessions at the Dewan Rakyat. Anwar is scheduled to table the 12MP on Monday , followed by debates from Tuesday to Thursday , and ministers’ replies on the following Monday and Tuesday .
