KUALA
LUMPUR: The prosecution, namely the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), today failed in its bid to stay the execution of the High Court decision in dismissing its application to forfeit RM100,000 from Tan Sri Kasitah Gaddam.
The money was confiscated by the MACC after it was allegedly linked to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
This follows the decision of Judicial Commissioner Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh who dismissed the prosecution’s stay application against the High Court decision.
In today’s proceedings, deputy public prosecutor Maziah Mohaide from MACC appeared for the prosecution while lawyer Sasila Basri represented the former minister of Land and Cooperative Development.
