DPP worries Muhyiddin will not come back and run away

Muhyiddin and wife can celebrate wedding anniversary in Malaysia but not overseas

Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court Judge Puan Azura Alwi said Tan Sri Mahiaddin Md Yasin, better known as Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, can celebrate with his wife their wedding anniversary in Malaysia but not overseas. 

National news agency Bernama reported  yesterday the former prime minister on Thursday (October 3) failed in his bid for the temporary release of his passport to go to Uzbekistan with his wife to celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary.

Unreasonable reasons to release passport temporarily

Judge Azura dismissed the application by Muhyiddin because the reasons given were unreasonable.

"The applicant can still go on holiday and celebrate any celebration, but not abroad,” she said.

Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor Puan Noralis Mat said the prosecution objected to Muhyiddin’s application because the reasons given by the Pagoh Member of Parliament to holiday abroad with his wife and celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary were frivolous.

Must have reasonable, urgent and critical reasons

"The accused (Muhyiddin) must have reasonable, urgent and critical reasons. Citing stress from court charges, especially those under the Sedition Act, as a reason to take a vacation abroad is very trivial,”

"Celebrating wedding anniversaries and holidaying can be done in Malaysia. In addition, the court also needs to consider the seriousness of the charges facing the applicant and the risk of him fleeing,” said Noralis, who prosecuted the case with deputy public prosecutor Encik Zander Lim Wai Keong.

Lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, representing Muhyiddin, when applying for the temporary release of his client’s passport, said Muhyiddin would leave for Uzbekistan on the following day (October 4) and will return to Malaysia on October 12.

"My client is not a 'flight risk' since he is the president of Bersatu and has to attend the Parliament sitting, scheduled from October 14 to December 12. My client will return his passport to the court on October 14," he said.

In the application, Muhyiddin stated that he and his wife are taking a short trip to Uzbekistan as a respite from the various challenges facing him, including the sedition case at the Gua Musang Court, in Kelantan, the by-elections and also to spend time with his wife in conjunction with their 52nd wedding anniversary on September 22.

Charges against Muhyiddin

Last September 11, the Court of Appeal dismissed Muhyiddin's application to review the decision of its previous panel in reinstating the four power abuse charges involving RM232.5mil against him.

Muhyiddin, 77, as the prime minister (at the time) and Bersatu president, was charged with using his position to obtain RM232.5mil in bribes from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd and Mamfor Sdn Bhd and Datuk Azman Yusoff for his political party.

He was charged with committing the offence at the Prime Minister's Office, Bangunan Perdana Putra, Federal Government Administration Centre in Putrajaya between March 1, 2020 and Augusy 20, 2021.

The Bersatu president also faces two charges of receiving money from illegal activities amounting to RM195mil from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd which was deposited into Bersatu's CIMB Bank account.

The offence was committed at CIMB Bank Menara KL Branch, Jalan Stesen Sentral between February 25 and July 16, 2021 and between February 8 and July 8, 2022.

Muhyiddin was also charged in the Sessions Court in Shah Alam on March 13 last year with receiving money from illegal activities amounting to RM5mil and the case was transferred to the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur to be tried together.
