Perak frogs freed

(TMI) KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 — Perak assemblymen Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, two of the protagonists in the fall of the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government last year, have been freed of their corruption charges.

They, along with three others who were charged with corruption involving a RM180 million housing development project in Seri Iskandar near Ipoh, were acquitted by a Sessions Court in Ipoh today.

Both Jamaluddin and Mohd Osman, along with another former PR comrade Datuk Hee Yit Foong of the DAP, were blamed for the fall of the PR government last year after they deserted their respective parties to become Barisan Nasional-friendly independents.

Judge Azhaniz Teh Azman Teh delivered the highly-anticipated decision in open court and declared that the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case against the five accused.

“As such, all five are acquitted and discharged without their defences called,” he said.
