PUTRAJAYA: The wife of former Selangor mentri besar Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo will challenge the decision of the Federal Court in forfeiting the bungalow and land involved in the corruption case.
Counsel for Dr Khir, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said she would contest the decision by putting in a claim for the property.
“The house is subjected to forfeiture but I suspect it will be protracted because his wife owns half the share,” Shafee told reporters after court proceedings here.
With the forfeiture, the land and house now belong to the Federal Government, subject to the charge to the bank.
When asked if Dr Khir would apply for a pardon from the Sultan of Selangor, Shafee did not dismiss the option.
He added that they would also consider another “serious option” which he said he could not reveal until the full grounds of judgment had been released.
