Daim, wife told to file application to quash charge at criminal court

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told that the application by former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin and his wife, Toh Puan Na'imah Abdul Khalid, to strike out the charge made against them for failing to declare their assets should have been made in the Criminal Court and not in the Civil Court.

Senior federal counsel (SFC) Liew Horng Bin said if the application to quash the charge was heard in the Civil Court through a judicial review, all evidence related to the case would be revealed in the court concerned.
