Malaysian Bar applies to quash Zahid’s DNAA


PETALING JAYA: In an unprecedented move, the Malaysian Bar has filed for leave for a judicial review to quash the Attorney General’s (AG) decision to seek a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) of Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s 47 graft charges.

In September, the AG had applied for the DNAA for the Deputy Prime Minister who had been charged with corruption and abuse of power over the use of Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
