Allowed – prosecution’s appeal to reinstate four abuse of power charges made against Muhyiddin during his tenure.
The Court of Appeal has reinstated the criminal case against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin after his four charges of power abuse involving RM232.5mil were previously struck down by the High Court.
A panel of three judges chaired by Justice Hadhariah Syed Ismail said in its unanimous decision that the High Court had erred in law when it ruled the charges were defective.
“The charges were unambiguous. There is no necessity to give further particulars,” Justice Hadhariah said.
Other judges on the bench were Justices Azmi Ariffin and SM Komathy Suppiah. – The Star
