SHAH ALAM - Amanah asks Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun or the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) to provide arguments or reasons that led to the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision to discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) 47 cases involving the Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Amanah Secretary-General Datuk Dr Mohd Hatta Md Ramli said that he believed the detailed explanation could enlighten all parties still wondering why deputy public prosecutor Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar halted the trial proceedings.
"We believe that the detailed explanation will be able to provide enlightenment to all parties.
"It immediately raises the integrity of the country's legal institutions, especially the AGC and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)," he said in a statement today.
Previously, the prosecution for the case involving corruption, breach of trust and money laundering (AMLA) involving Zahid informed the Kuala Lumpur High Court that they wished to stop the proceedings.
Dusuki revealed that it would cause the Umno president to get a DNAA on all his charges.
In the meantime, Hatta claimed that his party respected the court's decision to DNAA Zahid yesterday on the Rule of Law principle, which the party had always honoured.
"Amanah is confident that the legal process and court proceedings throughout the course of these cases have already been scrutinised and judged by the Honorable Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah (now Court of Appeal judge)," he added.
