This was after a three-member panel of the Federal Court chaired by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat today, allowed Yong’s appeal for his case to be transferred from the Sessions Court to the High Court.
The trial in the Sessions Court has yet to commence pending the disposal of the transfer appeal.
Justice Tengku Maimun who sat with Federal Court judges Datuk Seri Mohd Zawawi Salleh and Datuk Mary Lim Thiam Suan, made the ruling after the panel had read the written submission filed by Yong’s counsel, while there was no objection by the prosecution against Yong’s appeal.
