The prosecution has withdrawn the appeal against former minister Zaid Ibrahim's acquittal earlier this year over a charge under Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for making an offensive posting on former premier Najib Abdul Razak.
Initially, Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali (above) wanted to fix a mention date but Zaid's lawyer M Puravalen highlighted that his client had been acquitted of the charge.
Following this, the judge recorded the withdrawal and dismissed the prosecution's appeal.
Early this year, the former minister was acquitted without his defence being called by the sessions court for making a blog posting claiming that Najib was a danger to the country.
Outside the courtroom today, Zaid told reporters if politicians cannot stand being criticised they should not enter politics.
