00:00Mubar MP Saeed Sadiq Saeed Abdulrahman has chosen not to contest Muda's inaugural party
00:05elections due to his ongoing court case, saying the party must be led by leaders who are whiter
00:10than white.
00:11In a statement, the former minister said he did not want his abetment in criminal breach
00:16of trust and money laundering case to hinder Muda from progressing.
00:20Saeed Sadiq said allowing his personal legal journey, however unjust, to hold back a party
00:26built on reform would be reckless.
00:28He added that he stepped down as Muda president following his court charges as a matter of
00:32principle, as anyone who leads the party and aspires to lead Malaysia must be beyond reproach.
00:38He added that until his name is fully and finally cleared, it would be wrong for him to seek
00:43any position in Muda.
00:44On Friday, it was reported that Muda's long-delayed internal elections would be held on March 14.
00:50The party polls had been repeatedly postponed since plans to hold them were announced more
00:54than a year ago.
00:55Muda was registered in 2021 with Saeed Sadiq taking on the party presidency.
00:59He was charged that same year with abetment in criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
01:04He stepped down as Muda president after being convicted by the High Court in 2023.
