Kedah MB’s ex-aide ordered to enter defence in rare earth bribery case
Kuala Lumpur sessions court judge Suzana Hussin says the prosecution has established a prima facie case against Hilmi Abdul Wahab.
On November 20, 2023, Hilmi Abdul Wahab, a former political secretary to the Kedah menteri besar, pleaded not guilty to two charges of soliciting and accepting bribes related to rare earth mining projects three years ago. In a session court ruling, Judge Suzana Hussin found the prosecution had established a prima facie case against Hilmi, 53, on all charges. The accused is now required to enter his defence, with the court setting a trial date of October 9 for the proceedings.
