Prosecution rests case against Muhyiddin after calling 29 witnesses

The prosecution concluded its submissions in the high-profile case on September 15, marking a significant milestone in the legal proceedings against the former premier. The decision to rest the case comes after the Crown presented testimony from two dozen witnesses throughout the trial period.

The completion of the prosecution's case now paves the way for the defence to present its arguments and evidence. Legal experts anticipate the defence will outline its position in response to the charges and evidence presented by the Crown over the course of the proceedings.

Muhyiddin, who served as Prime Minister from 2020 to 2021, has been facing charges that the prosecution has sought to establish through its extensive witness testimony. The trial has drawn considerable public attention given the defendant's prominence in Malaysian politics.

The case will now move into the next phase of legal proceedings, with the defence expected to have the opportunity to call its own witnesses and present counter-arguments. The timeline for the defence presentation and ultimate verdict remains to be determined by the court.
