00:00 The KL Sessions Court has allowed former Premier Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin access to his passport
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.
00:26 The judge said it is unreasonable to stop the applicant from living his life and doing
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.
00:59 On November 29 last year, the Sessions Court allowed the temporary release of his passport
01:04 to go on a family holiday in London and have a health check-up in Singapore.
