Lawyers slam remand orders against former TH chairman, Ex-Treasury sec-gen
PUTRAJAYA: Lawyers representing a former Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) chairman and a former Treasury secretary-general have argued that their clients should not have been remanded.
The New Straits Times reports that lawyers have argued against remand orders imposed on a former Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) chairman and a former Treasury secretary-general. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had secured seven-day remand orders for both individuals following an application, which was deemed unnecessary by their legal representatives.
Both lawyers emphasized that there were no adverse findings or inferences against their clients in the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report, which did not mention any wrongdoing or misappropriation. Furthermore, the former Treasury secretary-general had never served on the board of Putra Perdana and his involvement in the matter was limited, further supporting the argument against remand.
