Prosecution objects to Muhyiddin's application to stay Sessions Court proceedings

KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the power abuse and money laundering case involving Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has objected to the former prime minister’s application to stay the proceedings at the Sessions Court here pending a decision of his review application at the Court of Appeal.

In the prosecution’s affidavit-in-reply obtained by the media Friday (May 24), Deputy Public Prosecutor Lim Wai Keong stated the prosecution objected to the stay on grounds, among others, that the applicant (Muhyiddin) was attempting to delay the hearing of the case by filing the review application against the Feb 28 decision of his appeal by the Court of Appeal.
