The Malaysian High Court has dismissed businessman Albert Tei's application to move five corruption charges involving former senior political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin from the Sessions Court to the High Court. The judge, Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin, dismissed the application after hearing submissions from both sides, stating that the issue was not complex and that she did not agree with Tei's request.
Tei, 37, faces charges of giving Shamsul Iskandar RM140,000 in cash, along with furniture and electrical goods, as an inducement for assistance in obtaining mineral exploration licences in Sabah. He is also charged with giving Shamsul Iskandar RM64,924 to a bank in Kajang. Upon conviction, the charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail and a fine of up to RM10,000 or five times the bribe amount, whichever is higher.
