SHAH ALAM, March 13 — Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today pleaded not guilty to yet another money-laundering charge which involves RM5 million of alleged illegal funds, which brings the total number of charges against him to seven.
Muhyiddin was this morning charged under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
He pleaded not guilty to the money-laundering offence, where he was alleged of having received RM5 million in alleged proceeds from illegal activities from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd into Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s AmBank account at AmBank’s Amcorp Mall branch on January 7, 2022.

Sessions Court judge Rozilah Salleh allowed the previous RM2 million bail which Muhyiddin had paid for his six charges in Kuala Lumpur to be used as bail for today’s charge.
Last Friday, Muhyiddin claimed trial to six charges in the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur, namely four corruption charges and two money laundering charges.
