Kes rasuah bekas COO Tabung Haji tangguh ke 24 Sept

Former Tabung Haji COO Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani's long-standing corruption case has been adjourned to September 24. The session judge, Awang Kerisnada Awang Mahmud, set the new date after lawyer Wan Azwan Aiman Wan Fakhruddin informed the court that Adi is receiving treatment at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM) due to heart issues.

Adi has been in the hospital since August 31. His wife, Zureen Zainuddin, also informed the court that her husband is undergoing several examinations and it is uncertain how long he will remain in the hospital. Awang stated that the court accepts Zureen's explanation and that holding the trial at the hospital is impractical. "Let him rest for a while," she said.

Adi was originally scheduled to appear in court on September 24 for the offense under Section 165 of the Offences Against the Person Act, which pertains to a public servant obtaining something of value. He previously underwent medical treatment for four days in 2018 by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) due to the involvement of an internal contractor related to Tabung Haji in building his house.
