No guarantee Na'imah wouldn't abscond if passport returned, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the High Court emphasised that there is no guarantee that Toh Puan Na'imah Abdul Khalid, the wife of former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, would not abscond if her international passport is permanently returned to her.

Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin stated that it is not the intention of the prosecution to deprive Na'imah of the freedom to obtain her passport, as she can always apply for it temporarily if she wishes to travel abroad.
