Zahid's DNAA strengthens need for fundamental reforms, says Subang MP


KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) for the 47 graft charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds strengthens the need for fundamental reforms, says Wong Chen.

The Subang MP said the bottom line is to ensure laws are passed in Parliament allowing independent bodies such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Attorney General (AG) to function without political influence.
