KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — Prosecutors argued today that the four charges against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin have the all particulars necessary for him to mount a defence.
On the defence’s argument that the charges lacked details, Wan Shaharuddin said the prosecution was not obliged to provide the particulars on how the accused committed an offence or abuse their power. “Therefore, the applicant’s argument that the four charges against him are defective due to a lack of particulars does not hold any legal basis since various courts in Malaysia have decided that it is not mandatory to state how the offence was committed,” he said.
“In short the impugned charges are completely vague in that no sufficient notice is given to the applicant,” he said. Hisyam had earlier argued whether Bersatu can be construed as an “associate” within the definition of the MACC Act, arguing that the Act only makes a clear distinction between “society” and “organisation”.
He then provided examples of other political parties’ acronyms such as the United Malay National Organisation , United Sabah National Organisation and United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation whose namesake included the word “organisation”.
