Former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin was slapped with one count of money laundering amounting to RM5 million at the Shah Alam Sessions Court, here, this morning.

This totals up to Muhyiddin’s seventh criminal charge following the previous six counts of money laundering and corruption at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on March 10, where he also pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.

According to the News Strait Times, Muhyiddin was charged with one count of receiving RM5 million from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, deemed proceeds from unlawful activities on Jan 7 last year.

Muhyiddin was accused of committing the offence at Ambank Amcorp Mall branch, Jalan Persiaran Barat, Petaling Jaya, here.

Muhyiddin who was represented by K Kumaraendran, Chetan Jethwani, Dev Kumaraendran, Amiratu Al Amirat Saleh Garbaa, Isa Basir, Shahir Ab Razak, Teh See Khoon, Varsha Chelvi and Raja Syuhada Raja Khairuddin, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial to the charge after it was read out to him today.

Some netizens took to Twitter to share their thoughts on this ongoing case.

And we wonder why he was fighting so hard, claiming that he had the majority to form the government. What goes around always comes around.

Moreover, according to reports by The Star, as the former Prime Minister left the Shah Alam court, his supporters gave their support by chanting “Hidup Tan Sri”.

The Star also reported that in a brief press conference after hearing the charge against him, Muhyiddin said that the court has agreed to move his cases to the Kuala Lumpur court.

“I have pleaded not guilty to the charge and requested for the case to be transferred to the KL court,” he told the reporters present.

Two days ago it was reported that Muhyiddin and his family were having sleepless nights due to the court charges.

Comments from netizens flooded social media platforms with many criticising Muhyiddin’s comment.

What your family is feeling is nothing compared to the thousands of families, and lives, you ruined during your utterly inept premiership. I hope they continue to feel this way.

That’s what the citizens of Malaysia felt the last time when we were locked up. What do you want to eat tomorrow, how do you want to pay the rent, there is no work, no savings. Do you feel us now?
