JJ’s children fail in bid to get leave over RM1bil shares

PUTRAJAYA: The children of former minister Tan Sri Jamaluddin Mohd Jarjis, who was killed in a helicopter crash in 2015, failed to get leave from the Federal Court to proceed with their appeal in connection with the inclusion of Rantai Wawasan Sdn Bhd shares worth RM1.044bil in the list of their father’s estate.

Ikhwan Hafiz Jamaluddin, 35, and Nur Anis Jamaluddin, 37, were seeking to obtain leave to appeal against the decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal which ruled in favour of their grandmother, Aminah Abdullah, to include three million of Rantai Wawasan shares in the list of their father’s estate.A Federal Court three-member panel comprising Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Datuk Abdul Rahman Sebli and Federal Court judges Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan and Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang dismissed the children’s leave to appeal application by a 2-1 split decision, according to Bernama.
