The High Court has dismissed an application by Bersatu, a Malaysian political party, to lift a freeze on its CIMB and AmBank accounts. The court ruled that Bersatu did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate abuse of power by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in imposing the freeze. MACC initiated the freeze as part of an investigation, the details of which have not been publicly disclosed. Bersatu argued the freeze was politically motivated and unlawful, but the court disagreed. The ruling means the freeze on the accounts will remain in place while the MACC investigation continues. This decision represents a setback for the party, potentially impacting its financial operations. Further legal challenges are possible.
