KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 ― A company director, Datuk Seri Sim Choo Thiam, will face trial at the Sessions Court here in May 2024 on four charges of soliciting and receiving bribes amounting to RM15 million to procure projects from agencies under the Home Ministry.
“Both parties have plenty of time to submit any applications in relation to this case before the trial starts. The next case management is set for Feb 21 next year,” she said. Sim’s lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik informed the court that he had sent two letters on June 6 and 19 earlier this month to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission seeking clarification on the charges.
Nor Asma responded that the prosecution had received the letters and that she had received instructions that the charges remain unchanged.
