KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed an application by the prosecution to obtain a prohibition order on a sum of RM548mil in investment money, said to belong to Toh Puan Na’imah Abdul Khalid, her son and seven others in several banks in Singapore.
Justice Mohd Arief Emran Arifin said the prosecution had failed to pass the threshold under Section 53 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA).
“The test for Section 53 of the AMLATFPUAA is not fulfilled, therefore, the application is dismissed,” he said yesterday.
On June 19, 2025, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) filed an ex-parte application seeking to restrain Na’imah, her son Amir Zainuddin, two individuals, five companies and related parties from managing overseas assets.
The MACC alleged that the assets, comprising investment funds, were held in several bank accounts in Singapore.
