  "account": "Shah Alam: Nasiruddin Mohd Ali, a former GISB Holdings CEO, has been granted permission to travel to Makkah for his wife's caesarean section surgery. Facing 77 money laundering charges, Nasiruddin, 67, requested the temporary release of his passport. His wife, Ummu Mubaroqah Ashaari, 32, is set to undergo the surgery at a hospital in Makkah around October 8th or 9th. The hospital advised that his presence was required for the consent process. Nasiruddin, currently in a wheelchair, has not yet purchased flight tickets and will do so upon receiving the court's approval. The Deputy Public Prosecutor, Ashrof Adrin Kamarul, stated that the prosecution did not oppose the application, provided that the passport is returned to the court by November 10th. Judge Fatimah Zahari granted the application, with the condition that the passport must be surrendered to the court by the same date. In September 2025, Nasiruddin pleaded not guilty to the money laundering charges, which carry a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment and a fine of up to RM5 million.",
