Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim attends the 26th ASEAN-China Summit at the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, on September 6, 2023.
Hassan Karim, a lawmaker from Anwar's People's Justice Party, said he felt "let down" by the premier, whom he described as a close friend.
The AGC has said it dropped charges against Ahmad Zahid to review new evidence, and reiterated that its decisions were made independently.
On Saturday, around 1,000 people turned up at a protest in Kuala Lumpur organised by Malaysia's opposition, calling for Ahmad Zahid to be prosecuted and chanting "reforms are dead."
Najib has sought a royal pardon over his conviction and requested other charges that he faces to be reviewed.
