Prosecution's star witness unwell, court postpones Shahrir's trial to Dec 22


KUALA LUMPUR: The trial of former Felda chairman Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad, who is charged with failing to declare RM1mil that he received from Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) was postponed to Dec 22 as the prosecution’s star witness is unwell.

Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin granted the postponement on Thursday (Dec 15) after Deputy Public Prosecutor Rasyidah Murni Azmi informed the court that the 22nd prosecution witness, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Asst Supt Nurzahidah Yacop had been given a medical leave certificate (MC) by the Putrajaya Health Clinic.
