BUKIT MERTAJAM — The legal team representing Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh has signalled plans to file a second representation following the Public Prosecutor's Office rejection of their initial bid to withdraw charges against him.
The move came after prosecutors declined to accede to the first representation, which sought to have the charge discontinued. Details of the specific charge or grounds for the initial representation were not disclosed at this stage.
The decision to proceed with a second representation indicates the former official's legal defence remains active in pursuing alternative avenues through the judicial system. No timeline has been provided for when the second representation may be filed.
The case continues to unfold in Bukit Mertajam, with further developments likely as the legal proceedings progress. The outcome of the second representation may prove significant in determining the trajectory of the matter.
