Malaysia Court Rejects Ex-PM’s Bid to Review Corruption Charges

A Malaysian court dismissed former premier Muhyiddin Yassin ’s application to review graft charges filed against him, a fresh blow for the opposition leader who is seen as one of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ’s biggest rivals.

Appeals Court Judge Azizah Nawawi said on Wednesday the five-member panel would not pursue Muhyiddin’s case as the earlier bench had the jurisdiction to review the High Court decision, she said. Wednesday’s decision was unanimous, she added.
