00:06request for the temporary release of his passport for a holiday in Uzbekistan.

00:11Judge Azura Alwi said Muhyiddin could still take a holiday within Malaysia, Berita Harian

00:16reported.

00:17The Perikatan Nasional chairman had sought release of his passport from October 4 to

00:2214 for a short break with his wife as he was stressed with court charges.

00:27Earlier, his lawyer Hisham Tehpoteh said he wasn't a flight risk, noting his family

00:32remained in Malaysia, he had never failed to show up in court, and fully cooperated

00:36with MACC investigations against him.

00:39Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur Alismat opposed the request, calling the holiday reason trivial,

00:44also suggesting he could take a break in Malaysia.
