  "account": "The Shah Alam High Court has dismissed the prosecution's attempt to seize RM21.1 million and US$139,650, as well as a gold bar, from NGO Aman Palestin Bhd. Justice Latifah Tahar clarified that Aman Palestin is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing aid to Palestinians globally. Throughout 2018-2023, the NGO received over RM123.9 million in donations, including online transactions, bank deductions, and cash contributions. The prosecution argued that the funds were improperly misused and moved for investment purposes. However, Justice Latifah ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the funds were proceeds of unlawful activities and that liability for any wrongdoing would fall on those who misappropriated the money, not the organization itself.",
  "summary": "The court rules that liability for the funds falls on those involved, and not the company.",
