Charges of misusing position against Muhyiddin not discriminatory, High Court told

KUALA LUMPUR: The four charges of misusing position to obtain bribes amounting to RM232.5mil for Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia filed against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin were not discriminatory in nature, the High Court here was told.

Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin submitted that this was because all the charges met Sections 152, 153, and 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code by stating the form of the charge, particulars as to time, place and person (accused), and the manner how the offence was committed.
