KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — Former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has applied for the trial of his cases involving using his position to receive bribes amounting to RM232.5 million for Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and receiving money from illegal activities to be transferred to the High Court.
In his supporting affidavit, Muhyiddin, 76, said the Sessions Court did not have jurisdiction to determine or decide matters involving the Federal Constitution and only the higher courts, namely the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court, had the expertise to decide such matters. Last April 18, Muhyiddin, who is Perikatan Nasional chairman, filed a notice of motion seeking that he be released and acquitted of all four charges made against him on March 10 and the proceedings of the case in the Sessions Court be postponed.
The offences were allegedly committed at the Prime Minister’s Office, Main Block, Perdana Putra Building, Federal Government Administration Centre in Putrajaya between March 1, 2020, and August 20, 2021.
