Roger Ng trial: Judge tells prosecution to consult AG on postponement period


KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng Chong Hwa’s (pic) case has been ordered by the High Court here to obtain appropriate instructions from the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) so that the trial will not be on hold for too long.

Justice Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin said this on Wednesday (Oct 19) after DPP Zaki Asyraf Zubir informed the court of Ng’s temporary extradition to the United States until Feb 28, 2024, to proceed with appeals in criminal cases brought against him there.
