Defence asks AG to speed up decision on representation


KUALA LUMPUR: The defence in the trial of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has requested the Attorney-General to speed up the decision on the representation to review the 47 charges faced by the Deputy Prime Minister involving Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) funds.

According to a press statement issued by Ahmad Zahid’s lawyers, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, and Hamidi Mohd Noh, the decision on representation must be made immediately before more defence witnesses are called to testify in order to save both parties money and time.
