Shamsul Iskandar's five corruption cases to be tried together


KUALA LUMPUR: A corruption case involving Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin at the Shah Alam Sessions Court will be tried together with four other corruption charges he faces at the Sessions Court here, all linked to the approval of a mineral exploration licence in Sabah.

Judge Suzana Hussin made the ruling after allowing an application by deputy public prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan to transfer the Shah Alam case. The application was not objected to by defence counsel Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad, who represents the former senior political secretary to the Prime Minister.
