00:00 It was former Attorney General Idris Harun who insisted on seeking a conditional discharge
00:06 for Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zayed Hamidi before his final day in office, said Prime
00:11 Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
00:12 The Prime Minister said that the date of the court hearing was the end of the month, and
00:18 the end of the month was his last day.
00:21 So he hasn't been given his responsibility.
00:23 He doesn't want to let go of his responsibilities in handling the case.
00:31 Anwar said Idris didn't want his successor to bear this responsibility.
00:36 Anwar also said that if it were up to him, he would have preferred a later court date
00:41 after the Pulai MC Bangjaram by-elections.
00:44 He once again denied having a hand in the court's decision to grant Zahid a discharge
00:48 not amounting to an acquittal in his Yayasan Akabudi case.
00:51 In calls for the separation of the Public Prosecutor's Office from the Attorney General's
00:55 Chambers, Anwar said a proposal paper had been presented to the Cabinet a few months
01:00 ago for approval on separating the two offices.
