‘Time ultimately reveals everything, the truth has prevailed’ – Zahid
Zahid was cleared after the AGC decided that no further action (NFA) would be taken in the case.
SHAH ALAM – Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expressed gratitude following the Attorney General’s Chambers’ (AGC) decision not to proceed with prosecution against him over 47 charges involving criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering linked to Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
Zahid, who is also the Bagan Datuk Member of Parliament said the decision proved that the truth had emerged after a lengthy legal process.
“Alhamdulillah. Time ultimately reveals everything, the truth has prevailed,” he said in a Facebook post on Thursday.
Zahid was cleared after the AGC decided that no further action (NFA) would be taken in the case.
The decision followed a review of the entire investigation and new evidence after the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Sept 4, 2023 granted Zahid a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on the charges.
According to the AGC, comprehensive further investigations were carried out by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), including scrutiny of the source, acquisition and use of the funds, as well as matters raised through six representations submitted to the AGC after Zahid was called to enter his defence.
The AGC said the decision marked the final termination of the case, in line with the Attorney General’s powers and discretion under the Federal Constitution and relevant laws.
