Malaysia’s AGC dropped corruption charges against Deputy PM Zahid Hamidi due to insufficient evidence, ending a years-long probe.
On January 8, 2026, Malaysia’s Attorney-General’s Chambers announced it would take no further action in a corruption case against Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, citing insufficient evidence.
The decision ends a years-long investigation into alleged misuse of funds from his foundation, Yayasan Akalbudi, involving 47 charges of corruption, money laundering, and breach of trust.
Zahid, leader of UMNO, welcomed the outcome as a vindication of truth, while critics questioned the move given a prior court finding that a case could be made.
The AGC stated the decision was within its constitutional authority and based on legal standards, though no detailed rationale was provided.
The closure comes ahead of UMNO’s annual assembly and amid ongoing political tensions within the ruling coalition.
