KUALA LUMPUR: A company director has succeeded in compelling the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to furnish a fresh written statement of facts in favour of his defence concerning a RM15mil graft case linked to securing projects from the Home Ministry in 2021.

High Court judge Justice K. Muniandy allowed the revision application by Datuk Seri Sim Choo Thiam on the grounds that the early disclosure of the document was warranted for the accused’s right to a fair trial.
