00:00 The parliamentarians of the Kedah Batangan, Bung Mokhtar Adin,
00:05 insisted that there should be no negative perception
00:08 in relation to the high court decision
00:10 that released him and his wife, Zizi Izad Samad,
00:14 from the corruption charges in relation to the investment of Velcra worth RM150 million.
00:19 The head of the Amnusabah said they won the case in a merit
00:24 based on the judgment of Judge Azhar Abdul Hamid
00:27 that the prosecution failed to prove his guilt
00:30 and the statement of their two main witnesses cannot be accepted.
00:34 He admitted that there was a surge of public perception in relation to his release
00:39 three days after President Amnoz Zahid Hamidi was released without release
00:44 on all 47 charges of corruption, breach of trust and money laundering he faced.
00:51 Earlier, Azhar said the judge of the session court was outraged when he ordered the couple to defend themselves
00:58 and it was unfair because there was no evidence that Bung received money through his wife who was accused of having an affair with him.
01:06 Bung was sentenced to 65 years in prison for two charges of corruption worth RM2.2 million and RM262,500
01:15 as compensation for getting the Velcra case for investment of RM150 million in Public Mutual Trust.
