  "account": "Kuala Lumpur's Chief High Court Judge Azizan Arshad has revoked the application by four United Malayan Land Bhd (UMLand) subsidiaries to commence land title proceedings, following the cancellation of a seizure order by the National Prosecuting Authority (AGC) implicating 192 plots of land in Johor. The seizure order was issued under the Prevention of Illegal Acquisition of Illicitly Gained Wealth, Prevention of Financing of Crime and Illicit Profits Act 2001 (Amla). Attorney Zander Lim informed the Chief High Court Judge about the withdrawal of the application during today's hearing. Azizan subsequently rescinded the application. Attorney General Ng Siew Wee, representing the AGC, confirmed the cancellation and stated that the government did not seek any costs as no argument had been filed. Outside the courtroom, Lim stated that the UMLand subsidiaries decided not to proceed with the land title proceedings after receiving a letter dated July 22 from the head of Amla's unit, informing them that the seizure order had been cancelled. \"This means that the 192 plots of land are no longer subject to proceedings under Amla,\" he said. The four companies involved are Tentu Teguh Sdn Bhd, Viridea Lakeside Sdn Bhd, Exquisite Mode Sdn Bhd, and UMLand Medini Lakeside Development Sdn Bhd, which filed the application for the land title proceedings on July 10. Attorney General Dusuki Mokhtar, Deputy Prosecutor Wan Ahmad Hakimi Wan Ahmad Jaafar, Chief of Police Khalid Ismail, Head of Amla's Investigation Unit Fazlisyam Abd Majid, investigation officer Rozimi Mustapha, and the government were named as respondents. The involved companies sought a cancellation of the seizure order dated May 25, 2026, issued under Section 51(1) Amla. The order implicated 32 plots of land owned by Tentu Teguh, three plots by Viridea Lakeside, 156 plots by Exquisite Mode, and one plot by UMLand Medini Lakeside Development. They also sought a mandamus order to compel respondents to cancel the seizure order and withdraw the caveat registered over the respective properties. According to the application, the seizure order was issued as a result of an attachment order made on February 27, 2026, under Section 44 Amla. In the supporting affidavit filed in support of the application, UMLand Group Corporate Counsel Jenni Teh stated that the company challenged the validity of the seizure order due to the immateriality of the properties involved in the corporate separation case being heard under Amla. He stated that the police and prosecutors seized the UMLand subsidiaries' properties without cause, even though they had no connection to the corporate separation litigation being heard. The affidavit also claimed that the seizure order had caused the UMLand subsidiaries to suffer a serious commercial loss.",
