00:08 for an overseas trip to attend the opening of a restaurant in Bangkok.

00:13 Sessions Judge Azura Alwi, in her decision on Thursday, agreed with the prosecution's

00:18 submission that Muhyiddin's trip was not urgent, but noted that the court has a wide

00:23 discretion to consider such applications.

00:31 his duty as per normal as he has not been convicted.

00:35 76-year-old Muhyiddin faces two charges of allegedly receiving R195 million in illegal

00:43 gains from Bukhari.

00:45 Equity Sindhirian Berhad deposited into Bersatu's CIMB account.

00:50 His passport was surrendered to the court as part of the bail conditions in his money-laundering

00:55 case and to serve as a travel restriction.

01:04 to go on a family holiday in London and have a health check-up in Singapore.
