The Kuala Lumpur High Court fixed March 6 to hear MACC’s application to freeze 12 investment accounts abroad allegedly containing funds not declared by Daim Zainuddin’s family and his associates.
PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur High Court today allowed nine parties to become interveners in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s application to freeze investment accounts abroad allegedly linked to the late Daim Zainuddin’s family and associates.
Justice Arief Emran Arifian granted intervener status to the nine, whose identities were not disclosed, after deputy public prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat told the court the prosecution had no objections, Berita Harian reported.
Arief also granted the applicants’ request to keep sensitive and personal information about the assets confidential, barring disclosure, access, or sharing with any third party, whether directly or indirectly.
However, certain exceptions were allowed for judges, deputy registrars, prosecutors, and court officers involved in MACC’s application.
The judge also ordered that all terms of the information protection order remain in effect at all times, even after the application is disposed of.
The court fixed March 6 to hear MACC’s application to freeze 12 investment accounts believed to contain undeclared funds from Malaysian sources.
The proceedings were also attended by lawyers Gurdial Singh Nijar and Nizamuddin Hamid, representing the nine applicants.
