The Sessions Court today scheduled Aug 9 to hear former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin’s application to have his case regarding the failure to declare assets such as luxury vehicles, companies, and properties, be heard by a different judge.
“Therefore, I request that the hearing for the application be set for Aug 9,“ said Mohamad Fadhly during the proceedings. Meanwhile, Daim’s lawyer, M. Puravelan, requested that his client be excused from attending court on Aug 9. On Jan 29, Daim, whose full name is Che Abdul Daim Zainuddin, 86, pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to comply with a notice to declare his assets, including several luxury vehicles, companies, and properties across Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, and Kedah.
