High Court grants Zahid discharge not amounting to acquittal in YAB case


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) against deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for all 47 graft charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds.

Justice Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah in his judgement said the extended time needed for investigation was justifiable as the representations submitted by the defence had taken up hundreds of pages for examinations by the prosecution.
