Former AG’s conscience dictated Ahmad Zahid should get DNAA, says Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR: It was Tan Sri Idrus Harun’s conscience that dictated Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should be given a discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) before he retired, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said he was informed by the former Attorney General of the decision to go ahead with the DNAA.
“He said he had to grant due to certain reasons. I asked if it could be delayed? He said no. (He said it is) my duty my conscience I have to do it before I leave,” Anwar told the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Sept 19).
A heated debate erupted in Parliament while Anwar (PH-Tambun) was providing an explanation on the DNAA granted to Ahmad Zahid for 47 charges in his graft case.
A number of Opposition MPs then staged a walkout to protest the Speaker’s decision.
