Ex-Sime Darby president acquitted


KUALA LUMPUR: Former Sime Darby Bhd president and group CEO Datuk Seri Ahmad Zubair @ Ahmad Zubir Murshid walked out a free man from the court after he was acquitted of two counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving over RM100mil.

Sessions Court judge Zulqarnain Hassan freed the 59-year-old former CEO of all the charges after Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib informed the court that they did not wish to continue with the case and lead counsel Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden asked for an acquittal order.
