The prosecution has concluded its case against former Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man after presenting testimony from 21 witnesses at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court. He faces 10 charges related to submitting false claims and receiving proceeds from unlawful activities.
The Perlis state government is expected to remain stable despite the breakdown of its PAS-Bersatu partnership. A political analyst believes PAS will avoid actions that could destabilise the administration, particularly given the Perlis ruler's preference for governmental continuity.
PAS has confirmed that former Perlis representatives were involved in a statutory declaration scheme to unseat the menteri besar, dismissing Bersatu's claims that no such conspiracy took place.
