KUALA LUMPUR: A company director has succeeded in compelling the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to furnish a fresh written statement of facts in favour of his defence in relation to a RM15mil graft case linked to securing projects from the Home Ministry in 2021.
"The disclosure of favourable facts does not prejudice the prosecution in any way as the content of the cautioned statements by the accused person is already known by both the accused and prosecution and is already the accused's line of defence," the judge said here on Thursday . On Sim's application for a stay of proceedings, the court ruled that the application was"otiose" as the hearing had not commenced.Deputy Public Prosecutors Nor Asma Ahmad, Rasyidah Murni Adzmi and Muhammad Asraf Mohamed Tahir appeared for the prosecution.
The offences were allegedly committed at two different locations - Shaas Holdings office and a parking lot at Solaris Dutamas, Jalan Dutamas 1 here, between June and July 2021.
