Judge: It was ‘undeniable’


KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad’s solicitation for bribes was “activated” by his use of the word salam (greetings) through his former special officer, says the High Court here.

Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, who found the former Felda chairman guilty of nine counts of graft, said it was undeniable that Isa was involved in soliciting more than RM3mil as kickback to approve Felda’s purchase of a hotel in Kuching.
