KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court allowed an application by former Tabung Haji chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, who is facing three charges for corruption and 10 charges for money laundering, to stay hearing of the case pending the outcome of his appeal at the Court of Appeal to strike out all the charges.

Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin made the decision on Monday (April 12) after finding that there were special circumstances that justified the court to use its discretion to stay the hearing at the Sessions Court.
