KUALA LUMPUR: The Public Prosecutor deliberately formulated two new bribery charges against Datuk Wasli Mohd Said because the latters five charges in Sabah could not be transferred here for trial, the High Court heard.
It was only after the transfer failure that new charges were brought against the former Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB) general manager, counsel Gobind Singh Deo told the court hearing his application to strike out the two charges against Wasli or have the proceedings against his client stayed.
