BATU PAHAT: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he is leaving it to the new Attorney-General to give an explanation on the discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) that the High Court granted him in his Yayasan Akalbudi case.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Umno President, said as a person involved in the case, he did not have the right to give the explanation.

“Ask the Attorney-General as the AG delegated it to the public prosecutor to state 11 reasons in court. So, I as an involved person do not have the right to comment.
“But I trust that the new Attorney-General and DPP would make the clarification, if necessary. But to me, the 11 factors given to the Kuala Lumpur High Court are sufficient because the court has already made a decision,” he added.
He told reporters this after opening a Women Entrepreneurs Carnival at MRSM Batu Pahat, Friday, which was also attended by Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Risda) Chairman and Parit Sulong MP Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad.
On Monday, the High Court granted the DNAA to Ahmad Zahid on all 47 charges of criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
