KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s corruption trial began today with the defence questioning the prosecution’s first witness, MACC assistant enforcement officer Syawaludin Said, over the submission of edited TikTok videos as evidence.During cross-examination, Muhyiddin’s counsel, Amer Hamzah Arshad, grilled the witness on whether he was aware of MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki stating last year that edited videos cannot be used as evidence.The defence referred to a Malaysiakini article in which Azam was quoted as making the statement in relation to the Sabah mining scandal.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Umno supreme council member Razlan Rafii has urged opposition chief Hamzah Zainudin and his supporters to return to the party instead of setting up a new one and further dividing Malays."Not only Hamzah and the gang, others who are with smaller parties out there should also disband their parties and return to Umno, no problem," he told reporters after a breaking fast event in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. ___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
