The Kuala Lumpur High Court today granted Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s request to transfer his seven charges of abuse of power and receiving illegal funds from the Sessions Court to the High Court. Justice Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin ruled that the case’s complex legal issues, including statutory presumptions, the nature of political donations, and the definition of “organisation” under the MACC Act, warranted High Court adjudication. Muhyiddin’s counsel, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, argued the case’s legal difficulty, while the prosecution affirmed the Sessions Court’s competence. Case management is set for July 14.
High Court
NOTE: Muhyiddin, 78, was charged with four counts of abuse of power for allegedly soliciting RM232.5 million in bribes for the political party from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, and Datuk Azman Yusoff in connection with the Jana Wibawa project.
