Bung Moktar gets stay order


KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court allowed the application by Kinabatangan MP Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin and his wife Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad to stay the defence proceedings for their corruption charges involving RM2.8mil.

Judge Rosli Ahmad granted the application following a submission by counsel M. Athimulan, who informed the court that the prosecution had no objection to the stay pending the disposal of an application for judicial review challenging the Court of Appeal’s decision, which had ordered the couple to enter their defence.
