Crowd marching from Kg Baru merges with group at Sogo

KUALA LUMPUR: A crowd waiting at the Sogo shopping complex has merged with the group that had marched from Kg Baru.

Rally organisers had been seen heating up the crowd with chants calling for the prosecution of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"We will file a report to the police against Ahmad Zahid to reopen investigations," said organisers.

Ahmad Zahid was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal for all 47 graft charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds by the High Court after Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar applied for the charges against Zahid to be dropped at the onset of the hearings on Sept 4.

This was after the Attorney General's Chambers accepted a letter sent by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) seeking a review of the charges against Ahmad Zahid on Feb 20 2023, according to Ahmad Zahid’s lawyers’ statement.
