Professional Assessment Behind Decision Not to Charge Muhyiddin on Four Counts

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has clarified that the decision not to proceed with four charges against former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was grounded in professional evaluation rather than arbitrary grounds.

In a statement, the AGC said the assessment took into account several factors, including the possible effects on prosecution strategy and the strength of remaining charges still being pursued against the former premier.

Muhyiddin, who served as Prime Minister from March 2020 to August 2021, has faced multiple criminal charges. The decision to discontinue the four counts represents a significant development in the high-profile case involving the former political leader.

The AGC's clarification comes as it continues to pursue other cases against Muhyiddin, with prosecutors evaluating the overall merit and feasibility of the charges in their possession. The office said it conducts such assessments routinely to ensure the effective administration of justice.

The former Prime Minister has consistently maintained his innocence and has pledged to defend himself against all charges through the legal process.
