00:00 Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is set to apply for the dismissal of three money laundering charges amounting to about 200 million ringgit linked to the Jana We Bawar program.
00:11 The Perikatan National Chairman's League Council, Hisham Tehpoteh, said the application will be filed as soon as possible.
00:18 Hisham told Sessions Court Judge Azura Alwi that the application to dismiss the charges will be filed under Section 173(g) of the Criminal Procedure Code, which permits a court to discharge an accused if the charges are deemed groundless.
00:32 Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Chahruddin Wan Ladin informed Azura that the High Court had previously granted Muhyiddin's request to dismiss four charges accusing him of abusing his position to obtain Rp 232.5 million in bribes for Bersatu.
00:49 However, he said the prosecution is appealing that decision to the Court of Appeal, with the matter fixed for case management on September 27.
00:57 Azura then fixed a joint trial application for mention on November 29, pending an update of the proceedings in the Court of Appeal.
