00:00Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will return to the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court

00:06to face four charges of abusing his position to receive 232.5 million ringgit in bribes

00:12for Bersatu.

00:13This follows a decision by a five-member Court of Appeal bench today to dismiss his review

00:18application.

00:19The ruling means the decision of a three-member Court of Appeal bench, which on February 28

00:24set aside a High Court ruling acquitting the former Prime Minister of the charges, has

00:28been maintained.

00:29In delivering the unanimous ruling, Bench Chairman Justice Aziza Nawawi said Muhyiddin's

00:34contention that the previous panel had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal from the High

00:38Court would lead to absurdity.

00:40Aziza said the High Court would have unlimited jurisdiction when an accused is acquitted

00:44without a trial, adding that this would leave the prosecution with no remedy to appeal.

00:48Muhyiddin is charged with abusing his power as Prime Minister between February 8 and August

00:5320, 2021, in connection with the Jana Wibawa Programme by seeking to obtain 232.5 million

00:59ringgit for Bersatu.
