00:00 The Kuala Lumpur High Court has granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal to
00:05 Dato' Sri Ahmad Zaid Hamidi for the Yayasan Akal Budi Graf case.
00:10 In handing down the ruling on Monday, Justice Dato' Colin Lawrence Kwera said that this
00:15 is because the MECC is still investigating the case after Zaid made representations.
00:21 He said that representation consisted of hundreds of pages and is justifiable for further examination.
00:28 Earlier Deputy Public Prosecutor Dato' Mohamad Dusuki Mokhtar listed 11 reasons for it.
00:35 These include ensuring that no miscarriage of justice is committed and to make way for
00:40 more comprehensive investigation by the authorities.
00:43 However Ahmad Zaid's counsel, Dato' Hisham Tepotek, argued for a full discharge instead.
00:50 Ahmad Zaid is facing 47 charges for criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering
00:56 involving Yayasan Akal Budi funds.
