The dropping of all 37 charges against the ‘King of Klang’ Zakaria Mohd Deros has raised more questions than it has settled, Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang said today.
He decried the decision to drop the charges as “another grave blow to public confidence” in the independence, integrity, and professionalism of the state institutions.
“Were the authorities serious in charging Zakaria with 37 offences under the Companies Act 1965 in the first instance?” asked Lim.
Another of Zakaria’s lawyers, Mozni Sham Ahmad said the charges were not against the seven as individuals but against the companies.
“My client is a state assemblyman who upholds the law and has never breached it,” Mozni was reported to have said.
“My client is a state assemblyman who upholds the law and has never breached it”?
What a joke!
