FORMER prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has submitted a formal representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) seeking the dismissal of all seven criminal charges brought against him, his legal team confirmed in court today.
Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin informed High Court Judge K Muniandy that the representation — the first filed in this case — was lodged in late July and is currently under review by the AGC.
The High Court has fixed 7 October for the next mention. Muhyiddin, 78, appeared in court accompanied by his lead counsels Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad and Rosli Dahlan.
Muhyiddin, who served as Malaysia’s prime minister and remains president of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), is facing four charges of abuse of power related to the alleged solicitation of RM232.5 million in bribes.
The funds were allegedly requested on behalf of Bersatu from several entities — Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd and Datuk Azman Yusoff.
The alleged offences took place between 1 March 2020 and 20 August 2021 at the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya and were linked to the Jana Wibawa project, a government economic stimulus initiative.
In addition to the corruption charges, the Pagoh MP also faces three counts of receiving proceeds from unlawful activities totalling RM200 million. The money was said to have been channelled into Bersatu’s accounts at AmBank and CIMB Bank.
These alleged transactions occurred on 7 January 2021 at AmBank’s Amcorp Mall branch, and between February and July 2021 as well as February to July 2022 at CIMB’s Menara KL branch. - August 6, 2025
