Businessman Nicky Liow was slapped with 26 counts of money laundering totalling RM36 million at the Shah Alam sessions court on April 12, 2022. PETALING JAYA : A coalition of 30 civil society organisations (CSOs) has called on Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar to publicly explain why businessman Nicky Liow was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in his RM36 million money laundering case. The CSOs argued that Liow’s case reflected a broader pattern of high-profile corruption and money laundering prosecutions being discontinued through DNAAs without public explanation. They cited the case of deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who received a DNAA in September 2023 on 47 corruption, criminal breach of trust and money laundering charges linked to Yayasan Akalbudi. They also referred to former prime minister Najib Razak, who received DNAAs in separate criminal breach of trust and money laundering cases in 2024 and 2025.
