PUTRAJAYA: The hearing of the appeals by former Rural and Regional Development Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohd Arif Ab Rahman and his son against their conviction and jail sentences for bribery charges scheduled on Monday (May 15) has been postponed.

The Court of Appeal's three-member bench comprising Justices Hanipah Farikullah, Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan allowed the defence lawyer Datuk Rajpal Singh's application to postpone the hearing after he informed the court that his clients were unwell and could not attend court.
