KUALA LUMPUR: The corruption trial of Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin and his wife Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad is being given priority, says Sessions Court judge Rozina Ayob, who wants it to start this month.

Defence lawyers had asked the judge to start the trial in December to enable Bung Moktar, who is Kinabatangan MP, to attend Parliament, which is scheduled to be in session from Oct 3 to Nov 29.
