KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — Umno secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki today thanked God, Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Azam Baki for discontinuing the Yayasan Akalbudi trial against his party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
A DNAA means an accused person can face trial for the same charges in the future if the prosecution decides to reinstate them. He said the perception of a political persecution was reinforced by former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas in his memoir “My Story: Justice in the Wilderness” with the admission to being directly involved in arranging selected prosecutions against influential political figures with Dr Mahathir at that time.
“While the investigation was not perfect, it can affect the credibility of the Attorney General's Chambers and the MACC where it is used as a tool to kill off political enemies by the authorities,” he said. “However, only two days after the date that the memo was presented to the attorney general at the time, the prosecution was undertaken in haste, pointing to it being directed by invisible hands with malicious intent.
