KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has submitted a letter of representation to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) seeking to drop his seven charges linked to the Jana Wibawa scandal.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Lead Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin told the High Court that the AGC had received the letter last week.
He said the representation is currently being studied.
The matter was brought up during a mention before High Court judge Justice K. Muniandy here on Wednesday (Aug 6).
The court fixed Oct 7 for the next mention date.
Lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad appeared for Muhyiddin during the proceedings.

He allegedly committed the offence at the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya between March 1, 2020, and August 20, 2021.
Muhyiddin also faces three charges of receiving RM200mil from illegal activities, deposited into Bersatu's AmBank and CIMB Bank accounts.
