Appeals Court allows MIA’s appeal to reinstate Tony Pua’s complaint against 1MDB auditor

PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) and its disciplinary committee (DC) succeeded in their appeals to reinstate a complaint lodged by former Damansara member of parliament Tony Pua against Deloitte PLT partner Ng Yee Hong over the audit of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) financial statements.

This follows a decision by the Court of Appeal three-member panel of judges, comprising Justices Datuk Azizah Nawawi, Datuk See Mee Chun and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan on Friday (Jan 12), to allow the appeal by MIA and its DC to overturn a High Court decision that allowed Ng’s judicial review to strike out Pua’s complaint.
